Happens with every Microsoft download page.  Go to the page, click on the Download button, and the next page is supposed to automatically start the download.  It doesn't - you have to click on the link provided.  This has been happening ever since MS changed its download page several (6?) months ago.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the page
2.Cick on the Download button
3.The next page is supposed to automatically start the download

Actual Results:  
4.It doesn't start the download - you have to click on the link provided

Expected Results:  
automatic download start

Happens with every computer I've tried.  Windows XP and 7.  With all versions of Firefox released since MS changed the page.  They state it's a Firefox problem (SRX1135466771ID).
