I just did a clean install on leopard, it all went smoothly. then i downloaded firefox.
but when i open either firefox or safari, when i click on a link instead of going thru to the page i clicked on which all browsers normally do, the page downloads as html, the downloads folder starts bouncing in the dock, grrrrrr, and i get a popup that says (name of file i downloaded) is a web application which was downloaded from the internet. are you sure you want safari or (firefox) to open it. then i have to click YES to get the page to open.
i went to my preferences, everything seems to be in order, the box is checked the open "safe" files after downloading box is checked.
is this some kind of permission problem? i can't figure out what to do, and obviously can't use my browsers. i'm totally stuck!!!
