Hi,
I really like using Camino because of its small footprint. I have all plugins disabled but when browsing to a page that has flash video the browser automatically downloads a .swf file. I just feel this is a kind of security risk. Shouldn't it prompt me for response before downloading the file? Or better yet is there a way to turn off this behavior? Can anybody please help? Thank you.

Re: Question about the Download
Are there specific sites that trigger downloads, or does that happen whenever any site tries to show any Flash content?

Re: Question about the Download
I've seen it regularly on sites that use flash to show videos or audio due to bad detection routines; most of those video players have been updated, but of course sites must follow suite and update their local code.
The downloaded file is just a placeholder and not dangerous.
