OS: Windows XP SP3 Firefox 4.0 & Pale Moon 4.0.5

I have a problem when I download files of the executables type (.exe). Previously, I have checked the sign so that Firefox automatically download the file via download manager. Unfortunately, some sites disallow downloading with it. But, when I want to change the setting, I can't find the executables type in the Applications settings. So, how I download normally again? Please help!

I think the setting you need must be in the add-on's settings.

Firefox's Tools > Options > Applications is for downloads that need an application to open them. Executables are designed to run directly on the OS rather than being opened by another application. Also, executable files usually are sent from the server with a generic binary file header, so Firefox will not be able to match them up with a particular file type.

Well, thank you jscher2000 for your answer! The problem probably is FlashGot add-on (I won't know that there is a setting to auto-intercept download if you didn't mention add-on settings). Anyway, it's a big help, now I can download again, thanks!
