    Open file not save


    I will try to make it simple...
    I use mozila firefox.
    When i click on a link to download something(picture,song etc)
    It is automatically downloaded and save to my desktop.
    I want to change the (save) option with the open option.

    Hi there, firefox doesn't have a open option. It just has the save option when downloading something. However, you change change the default saving option by clicking Tools>Options>Save Files To>Browse.

    Hi panais,

    Looks like Dinesh got the answer first.

    You can browse to any folder you want the downloads to go to. I always set mine to my Data partition, so if I need to repair or re-install the OS the downloads are safe, and the OS partition doesn't get unnecessarily large.
