Problem when administrator approving access to website for my daughter

Hi I have set my daughter a user account on our laptop and used parental controls (vista) to restrict websites. This is working but the problem is when she tries to access one that i am happy for her to access, Firefox asks for administrator approval with an option to click this. When I click this multiple tabs keep opening - i've let it run into the hundreds but the only way to stop it is to close firefox. I then log out of her account, back into mine, to add the site in the allowed sites section, which is a pain. Is there a way to fix the issue of the multiple tab opening so i can approve from within her session?

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

Hi cor-el

Thanks for your reply & link. Do you know what i need to change (and what to) to stop this happening when clicking responses to approve access as an administrator?

You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the profile folder to reset all download actions.
