Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Please do the following.

  1. In the location bar at the top, type about:config and hit Enter.

  2. In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

  3. Then double click it to change the setting from "True" to False.

  4. Then close Firefox via File | Exit and restart it again.

  5. Finally, go download a file again, right click it and choose "Open Containing Folder". Should be in the folder it was downloaded to.

Incidentally, your Flash installation is seriously out of date and a security risk as is Java too.
