Hey guys,

I'm trying to download a DMG file directly but I'm not seeing any "save as" dialogue box appearing. I'm using Firefox 3.

This never used to happen but now it's always happening.

Like if I click on a link to download a DMG file they just don't download. But if I first right-click a link and choose Save As, then it does work.

The trouble is, some sites don't have download links as text, but rather buttons which you can't right click on.

Here is a file I'm trying to download directly but doesn't work:

Can anyone help me to sort out my Mac so that I get the save as prompt back automatically?

Many thanks!

Anthony
