firefox crashes when checking 'run this program as administrator' on windows 10
On Windows 10 Enterprise (x64), I currently have Firefox 59.0 (64-bit) installed but had issues on 57.0.4 as well.
for Firefox.exe i right-click and on 'Compatibility' tab I set 'Run this program as an administrator' When I start Firefox the browser loads (to some extent), allows me to enter a URL but doesn't navigate anywhere... I also cannot close the browser and i need to kill the application. I can also expose the options menu but any selection i select nothing happens so it's like the application is crashed
If i run without 'Run this program as an administrator' everything works fine ..
I need to run as administrator in order to perform gui automation

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP- in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.
The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.
Using your mouse, mark the most recent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box and paste them in.
For more help on crash reports, see; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-asking-support
When i do this I see "No crash reports have been submitted" ... I have opened the browser with or without run as administrator selected.
I called for more help.

This needs administrator access? Can that be disabled?

The way we kick off our automation, it's done remotely, using something similar to psExec and it's done as the administrator user
Some progress or at least some findings.. I am logged into Windows 10 as the Administrator... If i login with under a different local administrator I am able to run Firefox with the run as administrator checkbox
