OK - I'm a bonehead, I was getting the message "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer" every time I opened Firefox and fixed that problem by unselecting "run as administrator" BUT, in the meantime, somehow got into a screen that allowed me to select no security at all when opening a program. How can I get back to that utility so I can reset it to the default value?

Check that Firefox isn't set to run 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 folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
