What the queston says. I used to get a warning window before executing an .exe file, now I don't because I accidentaly configured it that way when I opened an .exe file. I want my warnings back.

Hi

I recommend you have a read of this article that will help you to change what Firefox should do when you have download different file types.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different option for you.
