I don't know what happened but when I turned my computer on today, Windows asked permission to run Firefox. I thought there was an update but no. It started up with the menu bar present which it wasn't before and the tab bar blue instead of the color of my task bar. Now every time I open a url sent through skype or aim Windows asks permission to open it. I've tried restarting my computer. Any way to fix this?

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.
