I've been using Vista for a few weeks now. Last night, whilst browsing
the web on Mozilla, I got a message saying "need to restart this program
using administrator access" or something like that. Now every time I
start Mozilla it UAC asks if it can start under administrator control.
What changed, and how do I stop this prompt without shutting off UAC?
thanks
 
Hi,

Install any plugin/add-on? I've seen this behavior in browsers when an
add-on cannot function properly without admin privileges (which is
dangerous). Disable any active ones in the browser settings.

No new ones, but I think I got some updates recently. additionally I
installed Thunderbird beta plus it's calendar plugin (lightning) . I
uninstalled all the plugins and still get the issue. I'm going to
uninstall and reinstall the browser.
