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.
Problem still there.
When I check in properties the "settings applied" show Windows Compatibility mode: Windows XP(Service Pack 2).
However, I am running Windows 7 on my Laptop.
How do I change settings to Compatibility Mode Windows 7?

You can remove all check-marks in the Compatibility tab to reset all compatibility settings.
