Since I had upgraded to latest firefox version, the desktop firefox icon includes a shield and asks for administrator permission to open. I also recently had problem with Windows 7 update process which required many steps to correct; but that was at least a week before my firefox upgrade.

Sorry, I didn't mean to click the button "I have this problem". I have a problem with my mouse. Anyway, yes this is not uncommon. Windows 7 is a very secure operating system because it is completely paranoid about every program. As far as I am aware, this is not Firefox's fault.
