IE features

[Ross G]

hi, i recently installed firefox (latest version) and found it much better than internet explorer 6 & 7, anyway when it came to the file saving and browsing it was a real hassle to get used to when i download something a box comes up with 2 options and it doesnt even give me the option to open it instead of save it.

i was wondering is there anyway i can get the window/box internet explorer brings up if i click to download something whilst still using firefox? or can setting be changed in firefox to dublicate a similar one to internet explorer?

it would be great of someone knows how to do this (if it can be done)

thnx for your time

It's also under edit > pref in Linux versions of FireFox and as I recal it has always been tools in Windows versions.
