Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Cor-el you were right, Thank you so much! I'm really baffled on how this got changed when I didn't do it manually myself. I'm sure you would likely know that answer too.
You're welcome
