565757 2007-07-04 11:35:00 I have been happily running Firefox 2 . 0 . 0 . 4 but today when downloading a file I think I selected to open it instead of saving it to disk . . .

I also think that the 'remember this setting' check box was selected and now everytime I download a file, it says in the download window . . . .

You have chosen to open . . . . "whatever file I am downloading" . . . .

and then it gives me the option to save it . . . . .

Now I'm trying to restore the option so it asks me whether or not I want to open or save the download . . . . but for the life of me I can't find the option and after a good google and a look throught the knowledge base I still can't find how to turn or reset this option . . . .

Anyone have any ideas???

Many thanks .

You would be looking under FF>prefs>main

565759 2007-07-04 11:48:00 I just want Firefox to give me the option first whether I want to save the download or open it...

The options under tools/options/main/download don't seem to effect this...

Or not that I can find...

565760 2007-07-04 19:06:00 Under the Download section, have a look under "Download Actions" > View & Edit Actions. Jen (38)

Thats the only option I can see also, If nothing else works than try reinstalling it. Have you restarted your pc after you changed the setttings back to it original settings. I dont think restarting the pc has anything to do with FF settings but its worth a try I guess.
