Firefox is now confused, because you've told it to "Open .zip files with Firefox," and Firefox can't open .zip files. You should go into your Firefox preferences with Tools --> Options, then click on the "Applications" tab, then scroll down till you find the .zip file type (it might be labeled WinRAR Zip Archive) and choose "Save File." That way, next time you try to download a .zip file, it will ask you where you want to save it. Save the .zip file to your hard drive and double-click on it to uncompress it. If you have further problems, we'll address those.

When I clicked on the download button and was asked what I wanted to open the file with, I browsed around and set it to Firefox (I think) and then foolishly clicked the "always open with this" box. And now Firefox keeps opening all these empty tabs, hundreds of them, which appear to not do anything. Omeka shows up in my Firefox downloads, but I can't open it. And it doesn't show up in my regular Downloads folder. I tried googling a solution, but most of the troubleshooting I found was for a program which had already been download.
