When I look at your two screenshots I do not think I can see any message about

hardware changes

I do notice some icons

mozilla shield       and     mozilla image

I do not know what those icons are. Possibly they are your screenshot files. You will know what the icons are. You are not asking about those icons are you ?

Use you cell phone and try to get a picture.

Possibly your problem is Windows related rather than Firefox. You mention

  • any software installs
  • Windows permissions and messages
  • Black Screens and screen resolution

English speakers may try

You could do a websearch to find a suitable forum, possibly one that uses an Indian language if that is better for you.

A possible cause of this message is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run 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 folder.
