I just started using Firefox version 26 official today. I noticed that after downloading any file Firefox is not performing security scan. Earlier version always did. Does FF26 do security scan at the time of downloading itself? or security scan has been removed from the Firefox 26? i like the new UI of Firefox but i am security conscious.

You can check the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref on the about:config page and if necessary reset this pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

Hello. Thanks for the Reply but your suggestion did not work for me.
Firefox should issue a scan request to the default anti-virus program if the above mentioned browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref is set to true.
How do you know that Firefox didn't perform this scan?
Hello. The process you told me was also the same before releasing the FF version 26. Because whenever i downloaded any file in the FF version 25 that took the time and i saw scanning the file but FF26 does not show the scan. do u realize?
The new Downloads Manager that the current Firefox release uses may not show this scanning message if you were previously using the classic Downloads Manager.
I did not ask that how do i manager my downloads. I think my question is very cleared.
