I am trying to download firefox4 and I getbinary file save or cancel. Where is the open or save box?
The open box for download says this is a binary file(???) DO you want to save or cancel? I click on save (my only choice or cancel) and nothing happens..Shouldn't I get a box that says do you want to open from here or save this file? Anytime I download something there is always a choice to either open file or save file Why am I seeing binary file and what does that have to do with downloading the new fire fox 4?

If you have checked/chosen Options > General > "Save files to:", then your files will be saved to the location indicated there. If you want to choose the location for saving files individually, then you should choose Options > General > "Always ask me where to save files". See:
