When I click on my firefox shortcut, a security window pops up asking if I trust firefox to make changes to my computer. At first I though it was because of an update but it asks for security confirmation every time I open a window. There's no "add exception" or "don't ask me again button, and the only option it the security window offers is an option to change the harshness of my security settings, which is not recommended.

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.
