Title: firefox
Post by: aaskl on September 29, 2009, 09:35:45 PM
Recently when i try to download programs or some files, firefox always denies me doing it. It says

"This download has been blocked by your Security Zone Policy"

How do I change my security level in firefox? I go to tools> options it doesn't allow me to adjust the security level. I'm using firefox 3.0.14

Thanks

When you attempt to download an executable file on Windows (e.g., an .exe or .msi file) you may see a Firefox Downloads window with one of these error messages under the filename:

* Blocked: Download may contain a virus or spyware.
* This download has been blocked by your Security Zone Policy.

You may experience this problem if the Windows option for Launching applications and unsafe files is disabled. To fix this:

1. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop.
2. Select Properties. The "Internet Properties" window will open.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select the Internet zone and click the Custom level... button.
5. Scroll down to the option, Launching applications and unsafe files (under "Miscellaneous").
6. Select Prompt (Recommended).
7. Click the OK button.
