Running Firefox without Administrator Permissions
I am an enterprise administrator and want my users to be able to run Firefox on their Windows 7 desktops. I have installed using elevated permissions but when the users try to open the application without admin permissions (they are members of the Remote Desktop Users group) it just presents a dialog box that says "Firefox has stopped working." Any suggestions?

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 folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Thanks - I have confirmed that none of the options are checked and still having the same problem.
try giving the users permissions to the local directory
Which - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" and if so read/write?
start with read, go from there, its trial and error. I'm betting once they have the necessarily level of access to the local dir it will run fine.
