By default, Firefox will start the download of an executable file specified in the http header. This occurs without active scripting, which means standard security add-ons such as No Script will not prevent this from occurring. To stop unintentional redirects or malicious downloads, follow the instructions below to disable http header refresh in Firefox version 3 (characteristic not available in previous versions; upgrading and disabling is recommended).
• Open the Firefox browser
• Click Tools | Options | Advanced
• Select the General tab
• Under Accessibility, select: Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page
• Click OK
