How do I get the Download Manager to warn about opening .exe files again?

Recently I had someone fix another problem on my computer, and I'm guessing he checked the "do not warn me again" box in the download manager when it warned him he was about to open a .exe file. I want that warning to show in the future, but I'm not sure how to "uncheck" that box so it will be enabled again. I have no way of contacting the tech support person again to ask him. I have Firefox 2.0.0.20.

Hello Taylor.

I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported, and this is possibly related to your problem. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at getfirefox.com.
