Full Version: After download using Firefox, can open file but not containing folder

I'm a new user, testing DefenseWall 1.74 and using Firefox 2.0.0.3. When I download a .mid file to my C: drive, its name appears in Firefox's separate Downloads window, where I can right click its icon to bring up a context menu that includes both "Open" and "Open containing folder". Clicking "Open" launches Windows Media Player and plays the file, which is what I'd expect. However, Clicking "Open containing folder" does not cause anything obvious to happen -- it certainly does not launch Windows Explorer, nor does it show me a popup warning that something has been blocked. I get this same behavior whether I download the file to C:\Windows or C:\Temp.

Is this the expected behavior? Are there any configuration settings (other than running Firefox as trusted) that will re-enable Firefox's ability to launch Windows Explorer?

Yes, I know that. It is shatter attack protection at work :) It sends potentially dangerous message into Explorer's window. I'll see if I can do some without losing defense strength.
