They're far to common now, but I expect things will get better.

   Use the Administrator account and you don't get prompted to elevate.  You
always run elevated.  For this reason it is unsafe.  What UAC (or UAP?)
does is aleviate some of the problems with all the crappy applications that
don't work for normal users.  Anyone that runs as a normal user today, or
could and should, should continue to run as a limited user on Windows
Vista.

   Even with firefox's installer's issues, it is not a big deal no matter
how much mike miller would like to play up something he has never used or
seen.  The elevation is only needed to perform tasks that require an
administrator.  These simply are not common.

  Thanks but I've got IE and no desire to put firefox (another security hole
like that) on my machine. I like IE wrapper/lock  type addons like
crazybrowser or maxthon.

  Perhaps a good suggestion to the vista team would be to turn off all the
newbie popup questions and such for the administrative user. One of my big
complaints with XP was that there was no "stop with the second
guessing me and assuming you know what I want, I'm an experienced
user" setting.

  Another suggestion would be for a "I don't want to learn windows again,
make it act and look like W2K" switch.

       It can't.  In the scenario described here, the app was installed as
an administrator.  firefox might not even install except as an admin.  Give
a try and let us all know.
