The message that the current operating system gives me when I access the Firefox site via Internet Explorer is "Your current security settings do not allow you to download this software." How do I revise the security settings to make Windows 7 accessible to Mozilla Firefox?

hello, unfortunately when you search for this error message it appears that it might be related to malware that is active on your system and blocks file downloads.

please try to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner, microsoft safety scanner & kaspersky security scan.

if you can't download/execute any of those tools, you might want to try to boot windows into safe mode with networking support first and see if it works then: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7

I have a current version of Webroot Security Anywhere which I have run today without turning up any malware. Would it be that the initial settings in the operating system were too limiting?
