Pictures & Movies Loaded to Desktop When Opening Browser

Every damn time I launch Firefox I get this crap. I am sick to death of deleting it. How can I stop this?

What exactly happens?? What files does it leave?? Does it happen when you start the browser, surf the internet or close the browser.

It happens every time I launch. The pics are .jpgs and the clip is a wmv.

have you looked in TOOLS in Firefox and set restrictions? Do you have any Virus and Firewall programs running? Do you have any added toolbar add-on? it could be many things, Read stuff on this forum under General Security, I have learned a lot through reading it and it helped me, but I am no expert to specify what your problem could be.

I don't understand why opening Firefox will make jpg and wmv files appear on your desktop. I suggest you uninstall Firefox and reinstall it again.

If it is what is above, try updating to 3.0.1 or 2.0.16 if you are still with v2
