I do NOT want my download window to pop up. Each time I scan a book, patron card barcode, the download window pops up. This is very annoying.

Your above posted system details shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22

Uninstall that old Flash version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
