Download Options

Post by viking33 »

Maybe the longer time users of Mozilla can answer this.
When downloading any file, IE had the option to either RUN or SAVE the file. Mozilla seems to only have the SAVE TO option. There are some times when I just want to run the download direct instead of saving it and then running it. I've tried a few Download Managers for Mozilla but none seem to offer that RUN option.
Does anyone know of a Plug-in or Add-on that will give me this option?

You can do that with the OpenDownload add-on.

See OpenDownload.

Added: the add-on mentioned in my reply is newer than the one mentioned by Tony.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thank you both, Tony & Hans.
Searched through the lists but as usual, couldn't see the forest for the trees.
