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 am on the Adobe Cloud, but for the past few days every time I attempt to open indesign I get the message missing plug-in Actions. RPLN, and the app will not open.

    I am on Adobe Cloud but over the past few days every time I try to open indesign I get the message that there is a missing plug-in Actions. RPLN, and the app will not open. Any ideas?

    Hi, when I try to open indesign itself this message comes up:
    Adobe Indesign cannot load the ACTIONS.RPLN plug-in. The plug-in requires
    the 10.1 version of indesign.. Please contact the vendor to get a
    compatible version of ACTIONS.RPLN.
    I am not able to click off the message to make the box disappear, so have

  • 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\).

    Try running several malware scanners to see if Kaspersky missed anything. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]

    * [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
    If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

  • How can I REMOVE the Yahoo! tab from the menu bar? Each time I open Firefox, I get the gialogue box asking if I want to make yahoo the default and each time I respond no and check the do not ask this question again.

    I am tempted to remove Ff4 and revert to 3.X if I cannot fix this problem. The question (statement) has all pertinent details already included

    '''Hello peacefultrev,'''
    I believe from your question you wish to remove the window title-bar, while keeping the menu bar available.
    I have two solutions for you to try. One requires no plugin and the other requires the installation of a plugin.
    '''No plugin option:'''
    This option hides the the window title while also removing the menu bar. The menu bar can then be reactivated and viewed simply by pressing "Alt" which shows the menu bar until you click away from it. To do this:
    # Right click on the tab bar and disable "Menu Bar".
    # Whenever you which to use the menu bar, tap "Alt" on your keyboard.
    # When you click away from the menu bar the windows title will disappear until you tap "Alt" again.
    '''Plugin Option:'''
    You can download this plugin called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ Hide Caption Titlebar Plus] which can be customized to suit your needs. I cannot provide support on this plugin as I have not used it myself.
    I hope one of these solutions will suit your needs.

  • 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

  • Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported.  Do you want to import it?  Yes or No"  Any suggestions?

    Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
    Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

  • TS1389 Hi Since the last Apple update, every timr i open itunes I get the Welcome page and have to agree to share my libaray. before the update I only had to do this once. Now its every time. Any solutions?

    HI Since the last Apple itune WIndows update every time i open itunes I get the Welcome page and have to agree to share my library. Before the update i had only done this once. Now its every timre i open itunes

    Copied from your previous post.
    You are right the Iphone is locked into the carrier softbank from Japan and its not the 3g model its the one before it, I am not sure what model.
    If your iPhone is not the 3G model - it is the one before that, this means your iPhone is the first generation iPhone or the original iPhone, which WAS NOT sold officially by Apple in Japan. The first generation iPhone was sold officially by Apple in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T, in the UK as carrier locked with O2, in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile, and in France as carrier locked with Orange and as officially unlocked by Orange. The ONLY country where the first generation was sold as officially unlocked was in France, which is required by French law.
    The original iPhone - the one before the 3G was not sold by Apple in Japan directly or through Softbank.
    Did you purchase your iPhone from Softbank or from an Apple store in Japan ? If so, this would also mean your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank since the iPhone is sold in Japan officially as carrier locked with Softbank only, and this would be the 3G or 3GS, not the original iPhone. This would also mean you are roaming internationally with Softbank with your iPhone in China. If you are using a SIM card from a carrier in China with your iPhone, your iPhone has been hacked to be unlocked unless you purchased your iPhone from an unofficial source in Japan which was sold originally as new officially in France as officially unlocked by the carrier Orange in France.
    Is your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank in Japan, are you paying Softbank international roaming fees while using your iPhone in China?

  • Every time I open iPhoto I get the loading cursor and nothing loads

    Every time I open iPhoto I get the loading cursor and nothing loads. I have tried to sync photos from my iPhone, from my iPad and nothing works. I do not want to restore my whole computer to a backed-up version because I have been using the other applications just fine. How do I restore just my iPhoto and not lose any pictures?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How to I get rid of pop up user account control "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" I have windows 7 professional.

    I keep getting an annoying pop up the says "User Account Control" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Two days after I downloaded Firefox and set as my default browser.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
    You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
    If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

  • 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.

  • How can I eliminate the amns.startnow page every time I open firefox/google?

    Every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, StartNow is also in the tool bar. How do I stop this?
    I might also say that Search| Firefox Help is also there and is redundant when "help" is also in the tool bar above.

    I don't want to get rid of a tool bar per se. It's the fact that every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, I get a line-up of three pages: Google, Search|Firefox Help and Start Here under the tool bar that shows File------Help. This doesn't happen with IE. Then when I try to close, I always get the question of whether I want to close three tabs. It's just a nuisance.

  • How do I get rid of the dialog box asking me to share firefox or go to the planitarium,it appears every time I open firefox

    Every time I open firefox4 a dialog box asking me to take a tour,etc opens. How can I stop that.

    You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.
