Browsers themselves don't make changes to your system: websites make changes.
Allowing anyone access to a computer, especially logged in as 'Administrator', is seldom a good idea (as you see).
One possible condition is this:
Firefox has been hacked by Microsoftie.
Microsoft has installed (unannounced to you) into Firefox, rubbish that degrades the security of Firefox to little more than IE.
Check your FF 'Add-on's'%26gt; %26quot;Extensions%26quot; %26amp; %26quot;Plug-in's%26quot; box and disable NET framework, Windows Presentation Foundation, Shockwave, Silverlight, Java stuff, or other active scripting rubbish.

These MS hacks make it possible for malicious trash to enter the system under several vectors.
Try %26quot;Malwarebytes%26quot; to start cleaning up your system:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
(free version has no %26quot;real-time%26quot; shield)
You'll also have to re-name the file (to anything.exe ) in order to run it.
Go to Start%26gt; 'c' drive%26gt; programs%26gt; malwarebytes folder.
In that folder find the %26quot; mbam.exe %26quot; file, and rename it.
System restore should also be turned off.
Finding that depends on what OS version you have.
Win7 is: Right click %26quot;Computer%26quot;%26gt; Properties%26gt; System%26gt; System Protection tab%26gt; Configure restore settings...heading %26quot;Configure%26quot; button%26gt; Restore settings @ top%26gt; tick %26quot;Turn off...%26quot; %26gt; OK out.
Other OS's are similar.
Update it.
Then run.
If this fails to resolve the issues, try installing the new version of Firefox, released yesterday.

Didn't get your problem... Try doing system restore...
