continues to ask "do you want firefox to make changes to your computer". I click yes, but it still asks next time I open program
I upgraded firefox. Since upgrading I am asked the above questions. If I ask the program to fix the problem I'm told the program in not compatible. I tried "go back to previous version". I don't think it did, and I'm still asked if I want Firefox to make changes. When I click yes, Firefox will open. But is will ask me again when I try to reopen. Everything else seems to work. Also can't seem to down load and get Plug Ins working.

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.
Firefox won't open at all if I uncheck "run this program in compatibiliy mode for"
Which compatibility settings are you using?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I ended up changing the User when the computer is locked. That made the difference and firefox is now working correctly. Thanks so much for your help.
