Works on my machine. Is this about the file browser dialog? That depends on your OS or DE.

Those generally are there because someone has figured out a way to atack your computer. Like, get someome playing a Web game and slamming enter and then pop up a dialog right in the middle so that you inadvertently confirm doing something unpleasant to your computer. The secure setting is probably the right default for most users.

Go to about:config (type into address bar) and set security.dialog_enable_delay setting to 0.

Note: disabling this delay may in theory open you to some pretty non-standard security attacks described in this article (as Otiel pointed out), but I wouldn't lose sleep about it.

There is usually a time delay before the button is enabled. At least on Windows.
