I can't double click on my downloads when they appear in the download area. I really need to be able to do to things such as Flash Player update.

I am trying to download some things using FF. It appears in the download area, but when I double click top that nothing happens. Please help me with this because I can't make the necessary updates etc. I need to know why I can not download anything.

If downloads are gone, it is possible that Windows deletes the downloads based on security policies defined in Internet Explorer. I realize realize that sounds strange, but it is related to the functionality of Firefox to submit downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.

To test this theory, you can try to disable the scan function. I assume you have good "real-time" antivirus protection that checks all the files saved on your hard drive. (If not, you should really get that, and you can make free use of Microsoft Microsoft Security Essentials for now until you have time to consider all the options available.)

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the filter box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) double-click browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to change its value.

Firefox should now ignore download Windows security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?
