When ever you go to d/l a video off the net it will ask you what you want it to do d/l or run. Well whenever I use Firefox it goes straight to the d/l window for my doc etc. How do I fix this so it will ask me what to do. I want to be able to choose what to do with it. Do I need to uninstall Firefox and then reload it to fix it or is there something else I can do? Thanks JC2942

Click the tools/options/general, there should be a downloads section with options to save downloads in a folder or a checkbox by always ask me where to save. Choose a different location or check the second option.
