firefox warning

How do I stop getting the dialog box warning that "Firefox.app is an application downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" every time I open Firefox in Snow Leopard?

I have the same problem every time. I've tried throwing away the Firefox folder in user/library/application support and reinstalling Firefox. When I enter xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Firefox.app in the terminal, I get this error: xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/Firefox.app' I tried deleting the ".app" and got this error: xattr: No such file: /Applications/Firefox

Here is the popup:


"Firefox.app" is an applicaiton downlaoded form the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?


I got rid of this by making sure when I:


* QUIT FIREFOX

* GET INFO on the Firefox.app

* Make sure that the LOCKED item is NOT CHECKED

* Make sure your account has READ & WRITE Privileges...

* CLICK the Cog Wheel under that and APPLY TO ENCLOSED ITEMS'


Worked for me.
