    Hi,

    I'm using Mac 10.6.3. I have set Firefox to open upon login using the
    doc's Options -> Open at Login menu. However, when Firefox starts,
    I'm also prompted with a message "Firefox was downloaded from the
    Internet, are you sure you want to open it?" (http://screencast.com/t/
    YzZkMDZiYzQt). I'm not prompted with this message when I open Firefox
    normally. Anyone know how to make this message go away forever when
    Firefox opens after I login?

    Thanks, - Dave

    Log in to the account that was used to originally install FireFox. Open
    Firefox, and it should then ask you for the last time.

    Are you sure you're not opening the application from the original disk
    image you downloaded, instead of a copy in the apps folder?

    I downloaded Onyx, installed it, and the preference you mentioned was
    already checked -- http://screencast.com/t/NTVlYTE2YT . However, I'm
    still asked to confirm whether or not I want to open the Firefox
    application. - Dave
