How can I stop Windows warnings about FF making changes to my computer?

Firefox Device permissions

Every time I open Firefox, and every time I click on a link in a Windows application that opens an internet link (with FF as default browser), even if FF is already open and running, I get the "this program needs your permission to make changes to your computer". How can I fix this glaring error? Mozilla no longer supports FF and I can't find anything about this on the Forum. I don't want to switch to a different browser, but I will if I need to. Please help.
