Continues to ask "do you want firefox to make changes to your computer". I click yes, but it still asks next time I open program

I upgraded firefox. Since upgrading I am asked the above questions. If I ask the program to fix the problem I'm told the program in not compatible. I tried "go back to previous version". I don't think it did, and I'm still asked if I want Firefox to make changes. When I click yes, Firefox will open.
But is will ask me again when I try to reopen.
Everything else seems to work.
Also can't seem to down load and get Plug Ins working.

Which compatibility settings are you using?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • How can I stop "do you want to allow Firefox to make changes to your computer"?

    I started to download Firefox 4 and don't think it finished. Just downloaded 3.16.6 again, but when I open Firefox it always says "do you want firefox to make changes to your computer. Do I have to delete something and start over?

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.<br />
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />

  • Every time I try to open Firefox, my User Account Control asks if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer.

    Every time I try to open Firefox, my User Account Control asks if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer. It never did this before until my brother messed while trying to download something for a printer. I uninstalled, then reinstalled it, hoping it would fix this, but it didn't. How do I fix this?

  • The past few days every time I open firefox I get the windows' "do you want this program to make changes to your computer..."

    Hello
    I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
    I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
    My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.
    How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
    thanks I am grateful in advance. I can't use this browser if this s going to happen it gets on my nerves.

    You're welcome.

  • I could previously open my itunes program on my computer. Not now as when it asks, Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer and I select, Yes, it shuts down.  I have removed and re-installed itunes, checked firewall. Pls help

    I could previously open my itunes program on my computer and sync with ipad, ipod and iphone but no longer. When I select itunes a dialogue box opens  with question - "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer"  When I select YES, it just shuts down.   I have removed and reinstalled itunes. have checked firewall and spent hours trying to fix. Please help.

    A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.
    Check that Firefox isn't set to run 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\).

  • Windows7 asks: "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"? " in English

    I have two computers with windows 7 Home Premium. Whenever I launch Firefox on one, it launches just fine. On the other, I always gets this message: "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"? " How can I fix this ?? Thanks......

    None of that worked for me. And I don't think disabling UAC is a good idea at least if it's a work computer rather than my own.

  • Box asking if Mozilla Firefox can make changes to the computer harddrive

    A box appeared on the screen asking if Mozilla Firefox can make changes to the computer harddrive. I contacted Trend Micro Security and they said Mozilla Firefox wouldn't want to make changes on my harddrive. I have just paid for a technician to remove viruses on my computer so I am now very suspicious of anyone who wants to change the harddrive. Trend Micro again cleared my computer of viruses but I want to know if the box requesting to make changes came from Mozilla.

  • After downloading iphone pictures to desktop, itunes won't open.  I downloaded itunes 10.6 (64bit) but get "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer?" Apple Inc.  I've clicked "yes", restarted the computer, and still no luck.

  • Opening ReaderX causes "This program wants to make changes to your computer" warning.

    I'm using Windows7.
    Previous Adobe Reader versions worked fine on this computer; and when I first updated to Adobe Reader X it seemed to run correctly, until recently. Now everytime I try to open a .pdf file or the Reader X application, the screen goes black briefly and a "User Account Control" warning box pops-up with the message, "This program wants to make changes to your computer."
    I have uninstalled Reader X, downloaded new install file from Adobe.com and re-installed the program, but it still does this everytime. I've designated Reader as the default program for .pdf files.
    Can anyone tell me what's causing this to happen and/or what I can do to remedy the problem?

    I am having the same problem! 
    Ever since I installed the latest update to Adobe Reader 10.1.3 (around the end of March) AR brings up the "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes..." whenever I open the reader.  NO OTHER applications do this except those that really need this permission.
    I have not changed any UACs and in reading Pat's suggestion on changing the UACs above, I would only want to make changes if they could apply only to the Adobe Reader program.
    It seems to me that something in the recent update changed Reader to cause this alert.
    I sure would like to get AR to run like it used to.
    Thx for your help.

  • How can I download Firefox without being asked for "permision to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer"?

    I've downloaded Firefox on several computers and have never had a problem in the past. You click the most recent version and the download process is just as described. However, this time around (maybe b/c I'm using Windows7?) I would click download, Run, and then it would ask if I would give Firefox permission to make changes to my computer. This sounds really weird, and I don't think I was asked that before. If I say no, the download remains incomplete. Why does this happen? And every time I click on the download link, the file name for where it's "From" differs. Why is that?

  • Everytime I open itunes it says do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer

    It opens but it's annoying as **** it never did it when I when I first bought it

    I had the same problem, tried lots of things but this easy solution worked.
    Go to the file location where Itunes is located (I had a shortcut on my desktop and just right clicked, went to properties and hit "open file location")
    Once at Itunes file I right clicked again and hit "create shortcut"
    It put a new shortcut on my desktop, I deleted the old one and the problem stopped.
    Hope this helps
