    I've just had my first problem with Firefox 3 (which I think it great!). On XP, it was stopping me downloading exe files (new drivers in this case). I can't find another post here about it, so as I found a solution, I thought I'd post it as I can't believe I'll be the only one to find it.

    Basically, FF3 respects your Windows Internet Security settings. If you have IE7 installed, these can block some file downloads. A solution is here:

    Reggie,

    Thank you for posting the solution to the downloading problem! I think I should add this to the Tips & Tricks sticky.

    Cheers from across the pond. :D
