Hey Firefox. So if I have a windows 7 "Standard User" and they download firefox it allows them to install by clicking "no" when prompted for a password. This feels like a windows issue but I want my user accounts to be restricted from installing stuff. I have tested and the firefox is only installed for that single user. However when a user clicks no or doesn't have the admin password the installer should stop. It does not. Why is that?

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

What is your computer system?

Sorry clicked helpful on accident. The computer is a dell laptop running Windows 7 pro. Firefox is only available to the user who installed it but clicking "no" on the admin password prompt should stop it from running. It clearly does not.

I think that when any program is installed on a system, all users on that computer can access the program. However, each Firefox user has their own profile folder. The others can help further.
