05-23-2006, 12:50 AM #1Firefox ALWAYS downloads files even on "Open"
Since I switched to a Mac, Firefox always downloads the files I tell it to simply open. On Windows, these files would go to a temp directory and later on be deleted. With the Mac, these files are cluttering my desktop even when I simply want to "Open" them and not "Save" them. Any way to fix this?

what type of files are you talking about? both pictures, songs, and videos can be opened in a URL w/out downloading, and music can be streamed in itunes without downloading. maybe not having ever used windows extensively im just confused by the question? haha, im sorry!

the only files i've noticed firefox doing that with is wmv files. i think it has to do with the difference in wmp integration between osx and xp.

I've actually always had this problem in XP as well. It was the one thing about IE that I missed after switching to Firefox.

install flipformac (wm plugin for quicktime) and use safari.
I do not understand firefox users, when look at UI it makes me cry. why does it have to be so ugly.
