@marcus, I was having the same problem. Then I read elsewhere that the application needed to be opened by the original downloader first - I had downloaded Firefox using an administrator account. I never opened Firefox under this administrator account, instead logging in to my standard account and getting irritated by the warning every time I opened Firefox. After logging into my administrator account, running Firefox once, I then quit, logged out and logged into my standard account - and the problem was solved.

@Davinian, Thanks for the response! The .inc file is an include file for other php files that call on them. They just “include” other info that the php file does not have built in. If this helps any. I was just confused because I didn’t see that file on the list that apple had.

@Chris, what are the .inc files for - what application/programme?

This is an excellent post on how to fix this problem for files that you know are safe. I have went through the list that Apple has but I cannot find an exception for a .inc file. Everything else works for the files that I normally upload and download via ftp, but I can’t get the .inc file to open as it should without the warning.

@Davinian, thanks for the response. After sitting there staring at the system preferences for a little while, and redownloading fruitlessly, I decided to do the #1 fix-it a computer has. I rebooted.
Lo and behold, it worked
Not sure what the problem was, but now it’s gone.

@Jay, not sure if there is a way to delete the setting - I usually just open the app again and the OS asks the questions again - if that doesn’t work, try re-downloading it?

Hi there.
If you accidentally tell the OS to never open the application.. is there any way to delete that setting from the system’s list?
