When I try to download files such as skype from the internet when I click save file as instructed, it blocks the download, if it does download it I can't click it in my documents to open and run the file. How do I unblock these downloads and allow them.

This happened

Just once or twice

== I tried downloading skype.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work. Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing. .......... See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files (Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows)
