I have to let Firefox make changes to my hard drive, or it won't start. Once I click Yes, Firefox works. However, when I close Firefox and try to open it again, the thing starts all over again with popup msg to change hard drive...

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\).
