• Firefox 105.0.1 QAP Menu Doesn't Load Without Administrator

  After the latest Firefox update (105.0.1 64x in Windows 10), QAP menu doesn't seem to load via my standard shortcut of Win + Middle Click.
  I have to enable QAP to run as admin in order for it to work. I can't imagine why it wouldn't. It works in every other app except Firefox.
  Anybody else have this issue?
  
  Strangely it works fine in a later Firefox release (Firefox Developer 106)... and no Firefox standard is not being run as admin.

  This would have been my only explanation... Anybody else having this issue?

  I'm on Firefox 102.3.0esr and not seeing the problem.
  
  Check Popup Menu options and see if Firefox is blocked under Middle Mouse Button.

  I've read that it happens that Chrome and Firefox escalate their own privileges to install updates and then other programs (QAP, AHK, etc.) could not interact with them until you close and reopen the browser. It could be what you experienced.

  If troubleshooting apps (and the interactions between them) it can be useful to actually see what context, that is elevated (admin) vs non-elevated (user), the apps are running in.
  
  Here is a simple explanation on how to do it with the Task Manager in Windows:
  https://www.howtogeek.com/763510/how-to-...indows-11/
  (It is the same setting on Win 10 and Win 11).
  
  For more in-depth troubleshooting I recommend Microsoft Sysinternals Process Explorer.

  I ended up just having QAP always run as admin so that I can trigger it from any app--since I have many other apps do tend to run as administrator.
  
  The next issue now is that I can't get QAP to launch as admin on startup.
  I have tried the following:
  - have the startup shortcut (in the Windows Startup folder) be launch as admin
  - enable the setting in the QAP settings
  - create a task schedule task to launch QAP with elevated privileges on startup
  
  None of it seems to work except for manually launching as administrator.
  
  Any suggestions? It is strange because this is the only app I have this issue with. Other apps that I setup a task scheduler to run on startup as admin launch fine.

  Yes you can but you may not want to. See "Can I launch QAP with administrator privileges?" at https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/can-i-l...rivileges/

  I was able to eventually get QAP to launch as administrator on startup by having Task Scheduler point to a shortcut. Strange issue.
  
  Anyway, I had a related question: is there a way to have QAP launch apps as non-administrator?
  I really do prefer to have QAP be administrator in case I would like to use shortcuts within an administrator app... however I would not want to launch every app as admin.
  Would this be a feature request: to have a feature to enable/disable running a command as admin/user? Seems like it will require user's credentials similar to how RunAs requires.

  Weren't you able to launch QAP as admin with the techniques described here?

  From what I remember from my research on this topic, no. This is not specific to QAP. Any app running with elevated privilege can only launch apps with the same privilege.

  With RunAs it is possible for an elevated AHK script to run subsequent commands. Can then use the same command to restore admin.
  
  It is not very safe though since the command requires the username and password of the user AFAIK. In my scripts I have a prompt to enter the username and password and store it for the session (and has to be re-entered every time the program is restarted).
