Just installed FF v.5 on Win XP. Now I am unable to download exe files. I have worked through suggestions on a FF-help page entitled "Unable to download or save files".

I have turned off my firewall with no success. I use ESET NOD32 and SpyBot. I AM able to download image files (and I assume other types as well).

I can download exe files with Chrome without difficulty.

Does this issue happen in safe mode?

Yes it happens in Safe Mode also. And, again, this only starting happening recently and doesn't appear to be correlated with any system change that I am aware of.

However, I found a solution on a rather old article. It seems that the problem is corrected by setting to "false" the following item in the about:config.

browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

The kb article where I found the answer is at: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

I still don't know why the "virus scan" and/or application of the "Windows security policy checks" causes this problem. However, I have now observed that the file appears while being downloaded. And, then, immediately after download, the file is removed - no idea what is triggering this deletion.

Thank you for your help.
