How can I get Firefox 12 to honor "Do not preserve zone information in file attachments" in Windows 7 x64 Group Policy?

Every time I download a file, any file, .jpeg, .png, .exe, anything, Firefox ignores the group policy setting and I have to "unblock" every single download.

This also applies to pictures I right-click on and "save image as," not just download with the download manager.

I fixed it. I remember the same issue happening in Firefox 3 and comment #3 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499448 gives a workaround. I had to have all 3 values set the way comment #3 explained to get Firefox to not save zone.identifier information.

Maybe open a new bug report?

I don't think Firefox integrates with Windows' "zone information" at all. As far as I can tell that's a Windows feature that is probably only respected by Internet Explorer. Sorry, I know this isn't a very helpful answer, but I didn't want to leave you completely without a response.
