After I click on Firefox icon, A box comes up and asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my computer. I click yes and then Firefox may open, or not. Usually it will open after I try more than once.

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 directory.
