Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!!!!!!

Bypass Windows Security Policy check

You can add the new preference, browser.download.manager.skipWinSecurityPolicyChecks (available in current Firefox versions) and set it to true. This will bypass the Windows Security Policy check and allow you to download executable files. To add this new preference:

1. In the Location bar, type about:config, and press EnterReturn.
* The about:config “This might void your warranty!” warning page may appear. Click I’ll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
2. Right-click anywhere in the list of preferences.
3. In the context menu, select New then select Boolean. The “New boolean value” dialog box will appear.
4. Enter the preference name browser.download.manager.skipWinSecurityPolicyChecksin the text field and click OK.
5. In the “Enter boolean value” box that appears, select true and click OK.

Firefox should now be able to download executable files.
