Windows 7 - always asked to run FF as admin

Windows 7 64 Bit, shortcut set to "run as administrator" I'm logged in as an admin and after updating Firefox to 3.6 it's always asking me with the UAC prompt - any way of fixing it? tried making a new shortcut but no luck.

One of those days! Right I've changed it not to "run as administrator" and now it's not prompting, although the little shield still shows on the icon.

Why was FF set to run as administrator anyway?

Wish I knew, created the shortcut when I did the old "pin to taskbar". Oddly I made it about 2 weeks ago and haven't had a problem until this morning
