FIREFOX DROPMYRIGHTS SETUP - IAN MUTCH

When using the shortcut to FIREFOX DROPMYRIGHTS, which is created by the installer, you will be using Firefox with reduced rights. This makes it more difficult for malware to be installed on your computer, though not impossible. Firefox is not altered in any way, you are simply using it with reduced rights when you use the FIREFOX DROPMYRIGHTS shortcut.

to confirm that you are running Firefox with reduced rights. (Right click firefox.exe>Properties>Security. It will show BUILTIN\Administrators Deny,Owner.)
