My firefox is up to date. Every time I enter firefox, a window pops up saying Mozilla wants to make a change to my hard drive. I say Yes. The box goes away. It pops up next time. How do I stop it?? Tom

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.
