Why is Firefox not available to all users on my PC?
I have installed Firefox on my PC running Windows 7, but it is available only to the user under which it was installed. The installing user is an administrator, but the others are not. How do I make it available to the other users?

Hello gcbryson,
I'm sorry to hear you're facing issues with Firefox installation on all your system's users. Unfortunately, Windows 7 requires you to run any application (or almost) as the system's administrator in order to install them on ever user's desktop and make it accessible to them. You might therefore want to contact your system administrator before bashing into the administrator rights and breaking everything.
If you still require assistance regarding this issue or if you have any more inquiries on the matter, please feel free to post them in a reply below. If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as Solution.
Thank you for your valuable time and patience, and all your interest in Mozilla Firefox. Surf safe and have a great day!

Thanks for trying to answer to my question. Unfortunately, it's not helpful, since I am the only administrator, and I'm the one asking for help. How does the administrator make Firefox available to all users?

Hello gcbryson,
you can install Firefox for all the system's users by right-clicking on the installer and clicking on 'Run as Administrator'. It should normally work.
Thank you for your patience and valuable time.
