Suddenly, I am asked to give permission before Firefox will open.
After I click on the Firefox icon, a box comes up and asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my computer. I click Yes and then Firefox may be open, or not. Usually, it opens whenever I try several times.
Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.
- Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
- "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected
Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community forum. Let me help you with your concern.
The computers are connected to a domain?
You get the error message?
When you try to print to a network printer that requires identification of trusted information, or when you try to view the properties of the network printer, the following error message may appear: Access Denied.
In addition, you may not be able to save a password for the network printer after have connected you to the printer.
This problem may occur if you do not select the Save password check box when you connect first to the printer on a network that uses approved connections.
Run the printer utility. A convenience store is an automated tool that can find and automatically fix problems with your PC. ThePrinting Troubleshooter can solve the problems with the installation and connection to a printer.
To resolve this issue, remove and then reinstall the printer via device and printers. When you first connect to the printer reinstalled and must enter credentials, click to select the Save password check box.
Add, remove, and manage your devices and printers
