I'm a fairly recent switcher to Macs and have a question about opening files from the Internet. I've tried several browsers and in most instances I have to download a file to my computer and then open it, rather than it simply being opened in a media player or reader. This requires a number of extra steps and is very frustrating, as I'm used to simply clicking a link and an MP3 playing or a PDF opening. This happens when I click links to files from professional sites as well as friends sites, e.g., a guitar lesson site's PDFs.
Is this a Mac thing? Is there some global setting I can change to trust files and not have to save a copy on my computer of every file I want to open?
TIA,
Mark
