Hi Mklroy50

Check that you don't run Firefox as Administrator.

Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut then choose "Run as" "Administrator" is not selected, select current user.

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