Each time I bring up Firefox it first asks me if it is okay to make changes in my computer. Why?

This question about making changes in my computer would be normal anytime a new program or a change in a program was about to occur. It makes no sense though in routinely openning a browser, and does not occur with other browsers

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.

Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".

Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected

Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
