Why does Firefox needs permission to make changes to my computer?
Yesterday, when I tried to start up Firefox, a window popped up and asked if I wanted to allow the program (Firefox) to make changes to my computer. It has never asked me that before and ever since yesterday, whenever I click to run it, the same window pops up. It doesn't specify what changes Firefox is making and I just keep clicking "allow." I have Windows 7 and yesterday, I also downloaded Sleep is Death by Jason Rohrer- a simple, small game, but I don't believe it asked me to change anything in Firefox. Can anyone tell me either what the changes are or how to stop Firefox from requesting to make them?

Chances are that Firefox or one of your add-ons were being updated.
Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. You also need to 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.
