Running Firefox without Administrator Permissions

I am an enterprise administrator and want my users to be able to run Firefox on their Windows 7 desktops. I have installed using elevated permissions but when the users try to open the application without admin permissions (they are members of the Remote Desktop Users group) it just presents a dialog box that says "Firefox has stopped working." Any suggestions?

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 folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

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.

Make mobile account with admin permissions without administrator INFO...

How do you bypass the admin permissions with mobile account? How do you make mobile account unlock things? You do you do the secret and rare system administrator login screen, where it says up on the top System Administrator, where nothing would be there? How to force your computer to go to single user mode, not command s or apple s, because that doesn't work for me? How do enable isight -camera without no admin password, no terminal? Is there extension for mac so that it will run and unlock things or open programs without administrator permissions? I need something that will UNLOCK MY macbook, please help. Where can I download password reset.APP for free that comes in the mac os x leopard disc? Thanks for the help...

Why don't you just use your OS X install disc? It has a password reset utility on it.

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?

Why firefox can be installed without administrative privilege

A standard user (i.e without administrator or power user right),able to run the installation package able in his/her workstation.By default, any executable package should not be run without administrator privilege.
Please assist, thanks!

Hi jscher2000,
Yes. I do not want non-administrator domain users to install Firefox. Most of the domain users are using Windows XP and 7 Professional.
Once the Firebox executable file is clicked, Windows does prompt Windows Security message box for administrator username and password.
However, the installation process is proceed, even though no login information is inserted and domain user clicked "NO" .By default, any of the application installation process will be stopped once "NO" option is clicked.
Please advise.
Thanks
Thanks.

How do I install my cookies, passwords & permissions from my old PC onto my new one running Firefox 4.0.1

I am migrating from my old XP PC to a new Windows 7 PC running Firefox 4.0.1.
I have managed (I think) to copy my cookies, passwords & permissions (i.e. cookies.sqlite, key3.db, etc) via an external HDD to the new PC and copied them into the Firefox profile on the new PC.
However when I launch a cookie dependent site,the cookie data does not appear.
How can I copy the data in successfully?
Many thanks

Easiest I've found and used is MozBackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/download.php
Download it, make a backup of your 4.0.1 then email the resulting .pcv file to yourself and save it to an easy to find spot, usually the desktop. Install MozBackup on the new computer, restore using the .pcv file you emailed to yourself.

How to run Firefox OS apps without Simulator

Sorry, just making sure, but is there a way to run Firefox OS apps in Firefox WITHOUT the Firefox OS Simulator?
I have the Simulator (I actually have mutliple versions), but I would like to see if there is some way to "trick" Firefox into to thinking that it's Firefox OS so I could just go to the Marketplace and get apps.

You can install Firefox Marketplace Apps from your Firefox web browser itself! You can just visit the marketplace (https://marketplace.firefox.com/) and start using the apps. But few apps like cut the rope maybe only available on mobile phones (hence you may have to depend on simulator)

How Update Flash Player for Firefox Without Running Firefox?

I have had a problem with Firefox freezing when I try to do just about anything other than simple browsing for at least two years. Updates don't help nor disabling all add-ons, nor reinstalling, etc. Nobody can figure out how to fix it so I use it as-is. I would like to update the Adobe Flash Player add-on but Firefox freezes every time I try. Is there a way to update the Flash Player in Firefox with actually running Firefox?
Thanks
Running XP SP3 and latest Firefox.
Also running IE8 using the latest Flash Player.

That worked, thanks so much. Now all I have to do is figure out where I can find similar files for all the other plugins that are outdated, Acrobat, Java, DivX, etc.
Thanks again.
