I load a signed applet in a web application. The applet open a xls file when I press the finalize button.

It works correctly in Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari. I have installed Office 2007. But when I test it in a new pc with Office 2010 installed, it does not work in Firefox browser (it works in IE, Chrome and Safari)

This is the console java error: ... java.io.FileNotFoundException: my_file.xls (Access is denied) ...

The plugin for Microsoft Office 2010 is installed. Java Plug-in is 1.6.0_27. Firefox version: 3.6 and latest version: 7 O.S.: Windows 7

I search in Bugzilla but not found anything about this. I test it with Firefox Beta - Aurora and the behaviour is the same.

Is there any bug for Office 2010 in Mozilla Firefox? Any suggestion?

Rectify the post: It works with Firefox 3.6, but it does not work with Firefox 7. Is there any bug in Firefox 7 with excel?
