1. FDM downloads even if plug-in is disabled. I do not see a way to use the browser's downloader rather than FDM.

2. When downloading a Gmail attachment a "service login" is downloaded and not the doc.

I am not sure why this is happening - at some point it was not and then it was again and then it wasn't - now it is again happening.

I am using the latest update.

Hi guigs2,

The link you provided is for attaching files to gmail. 1. I do not have pop-up blocker activated, so I cannot add gmail as an a exception. 2. My problem is not about adding attachments, but about downloading them.

What should happen is; If the FDM menu comes up, press Cancel and Firefox should now ask about the download.
