Default Allowing program to load without administrative password

UAC is preventing firefox from loading on standard user without password. I
don't want to turn off UAC. secpol is not found on my system. I want my
standard users to be able to run the program without giving them admin
password. How do I get UAC to recognize the program is ok? I tried giving
firefox admin privileges for all users and that didn't work.

Thanks

Sounds like a plug-in is requesting admin rights to me and that's tripping
it.

Hello,

Firefox should not need admin privileges. The solution here is to make
it stop requesting admin privileges.

A default install of firefox does not prompt for admin.

You will need to first uncheck all the run as admin checkboxes you may
have checked.

Then, figure out why your firefox is prompting for admin, and then turn
off or reconfigure the feature/component/add-in that is doing it.
