Description

[Fred Janczyn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

When I go to the Mozilla home page, originally to get the new release of
Thunderbird, when I click on the "download Thunderbird" link - I get a blank
page that says "this object has been blocked".  The same thing happens when I
click on the Free Download button for Firefox.
Interesting that Firefox updated itself with the new release just fine using the
"update Firefox" button in Firefox>Tools>Options>Advanced
I suspect the problem is on my machine but I really don't have a clue where it
could be.  I checked Norton Anti-v and Zone Alarm, and they aren't blocking
anything....so....HELP  please.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.mozilla.org
2.click on Free Download (for Firefox)
Or
3.Go to www.mozilla.org
4. click on Download Thunderbird 1.0.2

Actual Results:  
empty screen comes up with the words "This object has been blocked" from URL
http://64.12.204.21/pub/mozilla.org/bouncer/firefox/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%201.0.2.exe
or
http://207.200.85.49/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.0.2/win32/en-US/Thunderbird%20Setup%201.0.2.exe
depending on which link is selected

Expected Results:  
taken me to the download screen or downloaded the software

This message is form Zonealarm and you have to configure it correctly.
And you are here wrong if you want HELP. Bugzilla is a place for the developers to 
track their work.
As Enduser you can sk in the mozillazine.org Forum...

-> invalid (problem with ZA)

The cause were user settings in Zone Alarm Pro.  Evidently, the code was changed
on Mozilla.com that requires Mobile Code using Mime Type integrated objects to
be allowed on the requestors machine when attempting a Download. By unchecking
the box in Zone Alarm, the download screens came up as always.  I am not sure
when the code was changed on Mozilla, sinc the last time I downloaded from
Mozilla.com was December 2004 with Zone Alarm settings that blocked Mime type
integrated objects with no error.

reporter: for the most part, Mozilla.COM does not exist, it's mozilla.org...
