I select "Always ask me where to save files" radio button in Options menu. And when I download something, I notice that transferring is started before I press save button on "Save as" dialog. Is there any way to prevent the pre-caching before pressing save button?

Thanks

Sorry, not that I have ever seen mentioned in this forum. Firefox has always done that when "Ask me ...." is selected in Options.

Are you having any particular problems with downloads being started before you select a specific location for the "final resting place" for the download?
