This is when I start firefox (double click) ,either from the icon on the screen, or in the pin bar. Now, if I go to the icon on the screen, right click, and select run as administrator, Firefox will open. Why?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.


Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
