Firefox 3.6.3 downloads files to the desktop but they are invisible (can't open it)
Firefox says that it just downloaded a file, but I can't have an access to it and don't see it. Location was chosen with attention.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== when upgrading to 3.6.3

Hello Kuolematon,
this issue might've been caused by a download antivirus check. We'll disable the antivirus check for downloads now:
- Enter about:config in Firefox and press Enter.
- Enter browser.download in the Filter textbox.
- Search for a preference named browser.download.scanWhenDone .
- Double-click on this preference to set the value to false.
Afterwards, see if you can download files again!
Kind regards, Tobbi Firefox Support Volunteer
