Every time I click to open Firefox, I am prompted by Windows User Account Control asking if I want to allow the program to make changes to my hard drive. I just want to be able to open the internet without having to confirm this every time!

Every time Firefox opened

== I'm not entirely sure. It may have been when my computer downloaded the newest version of firefox.

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.

Hello Abby.

Yes, it's well known that User Account Control is one of the greatest annoyiances known to mankind, but you can easily overcome that check by configuring Firefox to run in admin mode. Rightclick the shortcut (or the exe itself if you don't have a shortcut), go into Properties, then into the Compatibility tab and tick the "Run this program as an administrator". It should be fixed.

Depends on the configuration of your machine's other settings. In my case, and with a Dell Vostro laptop, all I had to do was disable the "Digital Persona Extension" in Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions section. There was no need to adjust anything else with UAC or the firefox.exe or its shortcut properties. :)
