Can't access files downloaded by Firefox

    I just ran into a weird problem since upgrading to Firefox 1.5. My C drive
    is shared, accessable from my Windows 2000 system. It can no longer access
    files which were downloaded by Firefox. I get a message thet the file isn't
    found or that I am not authorized to access it. If I move the file to a
    different folder (on that same disk) I can access it. If I download the
    same file using IE, I can access it.

    Has anyone else seen this? Is FF 1.5 setting some sort of flag that I need
    to turn off?

    TIA

    I just ran into a weird problem since upgrading to Firefox 1.5. My C drive
    Using W2K and FF1.5 here with no problem. That sounds like some kind
    of file ownership problem.

    That was it. I had to rebuild my system and screwed up the userid.
