zikoeidos's Configuration

but it's annoying me and i've been disabling it sins 2010 and there is no harm
 
It's not annoying. If u mistakenly click on malicious file or u click on a file which is actually malicious which u don't know will harm ur PC but if u enable UAC then it will prompt u & ask u to allow or not. So malicious programs or files can't run automatically mostly if u enable UAC.

UAC is an important part of your computers security.
Which Changes Require Administrative Privileges in Windows?
There are many changes which require administrative privileges and, depending on how UAC is configured, they can cause an UAC prompt to show up and ask for permission. These are the following:

  • Running an application as administrator
  • Changes to system-wide settings or to files in the Windows or Program Files folders
  • Installing and uninstalling drivers & applications
  • Installing ActiveX controls
  • Changing settings to the Windows Firewall
  • Changing UAC settings
  • Configuring Windows Update
  • Adding or removing user accounts
  • Changing a user’s account type
  • Configuring Parental Controls or Family Safety
  • Running Task Scheduler
  • Restoring backed-up system files
  • Viewing or changing another user’s folders and files
  • Changing the system date and time

I will have to agree, enabled UAC because it runs at OS level above all other software including security software.
It has the ability to block malware not detected by any security product if you pay attention to its prompts and never approve anything that you are not sure is safe. UAC is the best protection you can get for your system.

Enjoy!! :D

Sorry for the question I do not know about..you can use these add-ons in Cyberfox also.
 
I liked your configuration:) (Thanks for sharing it!) particularly as I've read about your many extensions, & use 2 of them (adbockplus & HTTP Everywhere) you've listed, & even Zemana too!;) I agree w/Koroke San. Firefox is my favorite even as it's memory usage makes speed only a memory...
I may try yigido's recommendation of Cyberfox, but also strongly urge you to look more closely at activating your UAC. I used to feel annoyed, just like you, by what turned out to be everything every one of the many wise individuals here have been saying in order to encourage your letting Windows 7 UAC help you protect the system's longer life & integrity!:):D
