Firefox won't download dmg files; instead it opens them in the browser window.

I cannot get Firefox to save some dmg files from certain download pages. When there is a direct html link to the file, I can easily two-finger click and select "Save File As".

But with radio button downloads, Firefox instead "opens" the dmg file as blank screen in the browser window, as if it were a web page.

Can anyone offer any help with this?

Thanks!
