Something showed up in my status bar too.  However,
there should be no worries for users running the web
browser with the proper permission levels, the box is
probably not compromised yet.

I'm going to investigate, it looks like the file is
likely something that runs under windows, so I'm going
to make sure FireFox didn't go ahead and nicely start
it with wine for me... (I doubt it, but it may be good
to check)
