Why do I get the message asking me to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer whenever I click on the Firefox icon?

When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, instead of struggling just to the Firefox page, I get a box asking me if it's good for Firefox to make changes to my computer. If I hit Yes, I get the Firefox page. If I don't hit, I get nothing. What is the reason for this?

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.
