Every time I click on Firefox Icon, a window appears requesting if it is OK for Firefox to change Registry settings. If I click "yes" it then proceeds normally. If I click "no" it also proceeds normally. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and find the same. I have the latest version 4-0-1.

Check that you do not run Firefox 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 directory.

If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.
