Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?

I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

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 />
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.<br />

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Our company has an Intranet site which is accessed on the web. it is an https site. Since FF upgraded to v23 it keeps asking for permission every time the si

    Our company's https Intranet site worked OK with FF 22. With v23 a small drop down box keeps appearing every time we go to a different page on the site. It asks for permission to load the page. With constant use this is extremely irritating. There is no option to allow the site. What's the fix or should I go back to IE which had its own set of stupid questions.

    hello, for details on why this blocking mechanism was introduced in firefox please refer to [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]].
    if you'd like to generally turn of mixed content blocking nevertheless, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.mixed_content.block_active_content'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • ITunes 10.7 keeps asking for password every time it starts

    So, ever since updating to iTunes 10.7, it *continually* asks me for my Apple ID password twice every time I start iTunes.
    This is getting quite annoying.  Is this a bug, or is there something that needs to be set to make this stop happening?

    Have you ever been able to successfully remain connected to this wifi? Do any other devices connect and stay connected to this wifi? Have you checked to see if there is a firmware update for your router? The last step would be to restore your iPhone, first from a backup and if that doesn't work, then as a new device, or not from a backup. See this support document about restoring http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Why does CC keep reinstaling Add-ons every time I start my system?  e.g. Server Behavior

    Reinstalls every time.  As well as this irritation why is there no filter in the Add-ons site to differentiate between what's compatible with CC2014 and other add-ons built for earlier iterations of Creative Cloud.  Surely there should be?

  • Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why does it keep asking for my password ?

    Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

    It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
    When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

  • Why does iClod keep asking for my password?

    Why does iCloud keep asking for a password? I don't remember asking for this and if I try to turn it off it threatens to delete my calendars off my mac but keep them on some else's server!

    Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sing back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  See if that stops the prompts for the password.

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • Why does CC keeps asking for login? Keeps showing up as trial.

    Since about a week ago, when I launch any Adobe CC it keeps asking me to login. Afer I login, it says that it's a trial version until it syncs up with my account with a "registration" button. I have to do this every time I launch any Adobe CC product.
    What gives?

    iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
    I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
    To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"

  • Why does Firefox keep installing Miro with every new update ?

    Some months ago I downloaded Miro, although I never made much use of it.After the recent Firefox update to 3.6.4 I noticed that used memory suddenly jumped by around 20 % and when I investigated in Resource Monitor I found that Miro had started running 2 processes in the background which were consuming considerable resources. I also found that my address bar had been hijacked by a change in the keyword:URlL setting. None of these problems had come up prior to the 3.6.4 update. I uninstalled Miro, restored my keyword setting,and successfully killed it's processes. I used Revo uninstaller pro and I am certain that nothing was left behind. But after the next Firefox update to 3.6.6 I noticed a sudden jump in memory usage and then discovered that Miro had re-installed and had begun running the same 2 processes. I have now gone to considerable time and trouble to deal with this problem twice in one week and I would appreciate an explanation as to why Miro is re-installing every time i update Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I udated to 3.6.4, then 3.6.6

    firefox keeps installing and uninstalling java on my windows xp pro computers. I hope this gets addressed before I switch to chrome.

  • What is "exited?" and why does it keep asking for access to Facebook?

    Has anyone else had this appear?
    I'm running the iOS 7 beta and every time I use the Facebook app or Safari I get about 4 alerts on screen with the phrase:
    "exited?" is requesting access to your contacts and basic information on Facebook
    I have no idea what it is so I keep disallowing it... anyone got any clues? Searching the web yields no results

    This isn't the place for iOS 7 talk yet.

  • Why does aperture keep asking for my activation key each time I open the programme?

    I have aperture on iMac and macbook air - everytime I open aperture on air, it asks my name and key number. how do I get it to remember this? why does it do it?
    Help please - I am tired of it.

    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library, and this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    When did this start? Have you migrated your system from another mac? Then you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file  or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearin the /tmp directory.
    In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)
