[QUOTE="technologist, post: 100673, member: 4134"] The pop-under/behind windows are fairly new, or at least they're becoming more and more popular. They're more sophisticated than the old popup/popunders. The .exes are a Firefox eccentricity. It will download the file under that name, on the desktop, and then rename and move the file to your chosen location. I don't know why Firefox uses ".exe" as the extension, and not ".temporary" or ".download" or something sensible like that. [/QUOTE]
