Is there a "run" file download button like in IE?

more options

Hey there. Is there a way in Firefox to have "run" file download button like in IE? In Firefox my only option is to automatically download the file, but I either select a folder or make all files saved automatically to temp folder. That's not what I want. I just want a run button where the browser automatically downloads to a temp folder and runs the program, but also gives me the chance to download to a certain folder if I wish so.

Thanks!!!!
