Get UAC popup requiring permission to update
Hi, I have been using firefox for many years and never showed me an UAC popup requiring permissions to update firefox as soon as i clicked the firefox icon in the taskbar. Today suddenly required it. I am administrator in windows 10, and have automatic updates enabled as always. I am using 125.0.3 (64-bit) version. This could be a bug or a virus? i am worried that could have given permission to a virus to install something else when i pressed the firefox icon.

Hello
Of course, perhaps it's not the answer you're looking for. Nevertheless, take a look at https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14976448#p14976448 For my part, replying Yes in the "User Account Control" (UAC) dialog box, that's normal.
When the window appears (UAC) dialog box, Show more details ?

There are a lot things that can prevent background updates, see the "Requirements to run" section of the background updates article.
You could install Firefox from the Microsoft Store which uses a different update system.
We have same problem in DE version of the Firefox. Many users reporting required UAC popup for update Firefox 32bit 122.0.1 as well 64bit 125.0.2
