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.

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?
