  4. You may also need to go to the Security tab and
    click Trusted Sites and
    click the Sites button and
    add Mosaic to the list:
    SNAGHTML13e9c48e
    SNAGHTML13eb1ebe
  5. Make sure your trusted sites enable file downloads.  Hit the Custom Level button and enable “Automatic prompting for file downloads”
