 Integrity is a new Windows security concept introduced with Windows Vista. Securable objects within the system, including applications and their associated windows, directories and files, and registry keys, are associated with one of a limited set of integrity levels. These integrity restrictions are independent of user level security restrictions.
-In general, Integrity applies the general rule of "no write-up", implying objects with lower integrity do not have write access to objects with a higher level. In addition, objects running at much lower integrity levels often have "no read-up" rules applied as well which restrict access completely.

 Firefox 2.0 currently runs at the default "medium" integrity level. The goal is to add support for running at both low and medium integrity without adversly effecting the browser's usability or user experience.
