Bom is not accepting added articles via Firefox Extension if Bom is started as admin.

If Bom is started with lower priority ie normal user articles are added. Problem is reproducable.

Thanks!

The firefox ext. starts another Bom instance which sends a window message to the original instance. That is not allowed by windows if the receiving process runs with higher privileges. The same applies to drag and drop.

This is not fixable. Run Bom with normal user privileges.
