There is a box on my opening screen which reads: Opening <filename>.exe. You have chosen to open <filename>.exe whic is a binary file http://aihdownload.adobe.com. Would you like to save this file? Within the Pop-up box there is 2 boxes -- save -- cancel. I cannot save nor cancel. I have contacted Adobe and they said it is because I am using Firefox. Can you please get rid of this Pop-Up?

Make sure that you haven't set an automatic download page as a home page.

See:


You can also check the Download Manager (Firefox/Tools > Downloads)

The problem that I described above is on my desk-top screen, not on my Firefox opening screen. I will repeat problem again. Title of box: Opening <filename>.exe. You have chosen to open <filename>,exe which is a binary file from http://aihdownload.adobe.com. Would you like to save this file? Save File -- Cancel File. I can do neither. Is there a way I can fix this?

I did not try to open this file. It just popped up on Desk-top Screen.
