User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) On start up an error message comes up saying, "You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program." This message comes up in a small box/window and a beep sounds. It has a red circle with an X in the middle. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on Firefox icon to bring up program from start 2. 3. Actual Results: On start up an error message comes up saying, "You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program." This message comes up in a small box/window and a beep sounds. It has a red circle with an X in the middle. Frustrating because you must click on the error message to turn off the message. Expected Results: Mozilla Firefox should just come up and start running without any error messages that you have to acknowledge. I un-installed the program with all add-ons, performed a restart on the computer, and then went to Mozilla.com and re-installed the program. The problem came back.
