Firefox problem

Trying to download an update to an add-on I
have for my Firefox web browser but it keeps
getting blocked.

I checked the Download window and it says...

[name of download program]
The download has been blocked by your
security zone policy - [name of download
website]

Where can I alter the Firefox security zone
policy?

I've checked the option tabs but don't see
anything that might be preventing the
download.

I also tried to download an update to Adobe
Shockwave Player but it blocked that too.

Grr!!

Any ideas?

I downloaded the latest version of Firefox
last night, starting to wish I hadn't.

Apparently it was 36 months months in the
making.

Would have thought they'd have beta tested
the bloody thing and sorted basic problems
like this by now.

you might be better off switching back
to explorer,it only takes a few seconds
even for a thick pig like me

it could be a conflict with ff2 addons.

firefox?

was that not a p!ss poor film from the early
80s starring clint eastwood who had to sneak
into the soviet union (pesky commies) and
steal a jet fighter with the aid of an
orangutan who gave a motorcycle cop the
middle finger when he tried to pull them over
in their aeroplane and when they got back
home safely they had some spaghetti hoops? on
toast unless im very much mistaken.

wasnt that firefox?

he was trying to sing a song with his
oversized specs and his bow tie, oh larry

wasnt it richard and judy that were chasing
the a-team? or was it just richard stilgoe on
his own with a piano and a beard?

mr mcghee dont make me angry, you wouldnt
like me when im angry he used to say before
spinning around dead fast and making people
tell the truth by throwing a lasoo around
them and deflecting bullets with his metal
wrist bands. then i switched over cos john
mcenroe was playing tennis and he had funny
hair.
