'Open containing folder' is greyed out when rightclicking a downloaded file.
Firefox will open a downloaded pdf file only once. Thereafter, when I do Tools/Download and try to open a pdf file, nothing happens. If I right-click the filename, the Open Containing Folder item is greyed out, so I can't use it. What the heck is going on????
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

possible SOLUTION: Disable Virus Auto-check in Firefox!
In an empty address bar, copy/paste
about:config
and press Enter
confirm 'I'll be careful, I promise'
Where the cursor blinks (after 'Filter'), copy/paste
browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
you might get two lines as result. In the line only displaying 'browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone', double-click 'true', which will set the parameter to 'false'
close that window or tab.
Test if your Downloads window now behaves as it should by downloading a new file/ saving an image etc.
CAUTION: You just deactivated a security feature (that obviously is not coded well, causing an internal virus alert in Firefox running in certain Windows installations on specific computers , like Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on a mobo with an AMD Athlon 64 CPU). Please make sure you have installed a) WOT for Firefox http://www.mywot.com b) a Malware scanner for your OS, like Avast (free) or Kaspersky (fee) for Windows, or Sophos (free) or Kaspersky (fee) for Mac OS X
