Here is what the message says: "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool. Enter your password to allow this" I tried to install but Firefox won't open. Firefox icon just bounces around, I have to force quit to stop it. I DO NOT WANT THIS TOOL BUT I WANT TO USE FIREFOX. By the way this is sent from my other user, as the problem is on my admin. user and I can't open Firefox to do anything!
