Why do non-admin Wndows 7 users need admin password to use firefox?

I had to reinstall Firefox and now as non-admin user, I have to use admin password to sign, plus, lost my user bookmarks? Only one personna appears for all users.

1. The user.
2. User File Ownership - Reset   see post by Linc Davis
3. No, although there are certain files, like System components your do have to authenticate for.

  • Why do I have to constantly relog my password when using this site?

    Why do I have to constantly relog my password when using this site?

    That's correct, regardless of browser used I could close my browser and not have to log in, but typically that only lasted for a few hours.  Something in the re-design seems to have made it such that you have to sign in each and every time to re-open your browser and come here.

  • Why does App Manager think I need Admin privileges to install updates?

    I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber, and when I open apps (such as Muse) I get a message to install upgrades (or not). If I ask to install, I'm asked for login and password info, which is then refused and I get an error message that I need Admin privileges. So the install fails.
    I can log in to this site using my login and password, so that's not the problem. I can also open the application (without the upgrades) but these are listed as being time-sensitive: only available until, for example, June 14. But there's no way for me to install these new releases. HELP!!!

    It's down to where the updates are writing their files / registry keys. For example, installing/updating the Flash Player runtime has always required admin access as the file lives within the operating system folder tree (on Windows it's in system32/Macromed). Registry-wise, Adobe places keys in HKCU and HKLM - the latter is read-only for normal users.
    If you're managing a network with enterprise-licensed software, there are tools for Creative Cloud that permit an IT manager to build offline deployment packs for the base installers and updates. If your users have retail copies of CC, that isn't an option and everything has to be managed on a per-machine basis.

  • Why can't I print anything from my e-mail using Firefox

    I am using a HP 8180 All-in-One printer when I try to print something It comes up with a MY Documents and asks me to name it. When I do it doesn't print anyway. Please help if you can!

    Hi swenzel,
    Can you be a little more descriptive of the problem? You say you "cannot copy it" but don't give any details. There are several methods for copying text like ''Ctrl + C'', right click ''copy'', ''Edit > Copy'' etc. Which method are you trying? When you do try, what happens? Is the option not there? Does the text just not appear when you try to paste it? We need more details to really be of use.
    Just a guess, but you might want to try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Message says "screen resolution problem" and says to set higher than 1020 x 600. My screen resolution is set higher. Why am I getting this message all the time I use firefox?

    when I go on to Firefox I keep getting the message that there is a screen resolution problem and it says I should set it higher a than 1020 X 600. But my screen resolution is set higher. It is set at 1360 x 768. Why am I getting this message continuously?

    I've had the problem too... for at least a month or more. It would happen when logging into yahoo mail. But it happens only with firefox... not explorer. I contacted yahoo and he had me first disable add ons... no change... and since it didn't happen with explorer, they said to contact firefox. So I followed the advice of cor-el's post (on this page) and made the text on my page smaller... It did fix the issue.... but, I liked the size of the text the way I had it. So, how do I get it back to that size, and not have that annoying message any longer? thanks!!

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Usually this manifests itself in problems with video, but games might also be affected. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • How do I allow access to non admin network users to disk volume?

    I would like to allow access to a specific volume (disk) on one of our networked macs (Mac1) to all users. I've set user accounts on Mac 1 for all network users. These users are "regular" users, not admin. They can access this disk (and all others on Mac1) if I log in as Admin set Users to Admin. If I do this, then users have access to ALL data on all disks. If I do not, leaving them as "regular" users, when they log in they only see public folders. How can I allow access to the one disk volume without making network users admin? I tried changing various settings for the volume in Finder Info (everone else=read/write; ignore permissions) with no luck.

    Your observations are correct - by default, an "admin" user connecting over AFP can choose from available "volumes" (default) or "shares", whereas a non-admin user can only mount "shares".
    By default, the only "shares" on an OS X client machine are the users' "Public" folders, and unlike pre-OS X Macs, it isn't easy to configure your own share points. Apple's official statement is that users wanting this functionality should buy OS X Server.
    However, it is possible to create an arbitrary share point using 3rd party software called "SharePoints" (donationware). I have never used it, but it seems to be well regarded. Alternatively, you can do it manually following the instructions in this hint & comments (especially apw8's):
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20011108161839416
    Once the external drive (or folder on the external drive) is configured as a share point, it should be possible for non-admin users to select and mount it once they connect over AFP.
