Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?
I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

I just had the same problem. I went to Fire Fox's "Properties" and the tab "Compatibility" and if you see a check mark where it say "Run this program in compatibility mode for" then that's your problem. It shouldn't be marked so uncheck it.
