Latest version of Firefox keeps making changes to hard drive when opened. Repair suggestions suggest changing settings not on my computer settings screen. No help!! very frustrating mess.

Is this a message asking to allow Firefox to make changes or are there actually changes made and if yes, what changes do you notice ?

You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.

Make sure 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.
