Take Ownership Shortcut
After doing that tutorial, right click on Program Files (x86) in Explorer and click Take Ownership. If it still won't start then right click on the Firefox shortcut, click Properties, Compatibility Tab, Run As Administrator. It seems every OS after XP is touchy about letting programs access files in the Program Files folder trees.
I just had to do the same thing on Windows 8. Programs could not write files in their own install folders.
Edit: Just a precaution.. do not run Take Ownership on the Windows folder as would happen if you ran it on the entire C: drive etc... Just the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders. It recursively acts on every contained subfolder.
