Could we PLEASE enable phoenix to be able to Launch newly downloaded .exe files...

This is really annoying, I'm no newbie... I know what I am downloading, perhaps
a one-time prompt to remove the launch button all together or to allow the
execution of the file-type? 

If the answer to this bug is "no" then please REMOVE the "launch file" button on
.exe files, or find another way for people to locate their files... the "Show
File location" button is not much fun when you have 255 files to sort through

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download an .exe file
2. Click Launch File

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The downloaded .exe file should be launched

It's totally unimportant, but you shouldn't close bugs. The CLOSED state is
deprecated AFAIK.
You'll know it for the next time :)
Ok, sorry then :) What should I do?

I wanted it marked as FIXED or RESOLVED, but CLOSED was the only option :)

I didn't want it open
Don't do anything, this bug is unimportant since it's a dupe.

But it wasn't open, it was verified dup, which is the step *above* resolved dup,
as you can see in the bug history:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_activity.cgi?id=200184
And it wasn't fixed either, since it's a dupe. The original bug is fixed, sure,
but its dupes are only dupes.
Ok, so noted... 
Resolution CLOSED is deprecated.
