How do I turn off compatability mode?
Have installed Windows 10 and Error box keeps popping up to tell me to turn off compatibility mode

When does that box pop up -- is it when you start Firefox or visit a particular site or ... ??
To double-check whether Firefox is set to start up in a backwards compatible mode, you can access the Properties dialog for the shortcut. Either:
- right-click a desktop shortcut
- right-click a pinned taskbar icon, then right-click Mozilla Firefox
In the Properties dialog, click the Compatibility tab and make sure nothing is set/selected on this tab. (Screen shot attached.)
There are other things that need attention.
The System Details List shows that you have multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
