[QUOTE="jagotti, post: 1127130, member: 149947"] Is there a way to download a file (a pdf, excel file, etc) from a web browser without it saving to the computer? In Firefox, there's an option to open or save the file but both choices save it. I believe in Windows you have to option to open files without saving them which is what I'd like to do. I put this in the OS X support category b/c it seems like it happens with any web browser and I'm thinking maybe it's an OS X thing. Any suggestions on how to get around having each file saved to the computer would be greatly appreciated. I'm using OS 10.6.4. Thanks [/QUOTE]
