Internet Explorer Can Affect Firefox
One would think that web browsers run independently of each other, that Google Chrome and Firefox or Firefox and Internet Explorer would not affect each other. Michael Horowitz just found out that Internet Explorer can affect Firefox on Windows XP. He lately changed the security level of Internet Explorer to high for some extra security and noticed from then on that Firefox would not download executable files anymore. He linked it first to the service pack download and installation but later found out that it was actually a consequence of setting Internet Explorer's Internet Zone setting to high.
