    Right, so I just jumped on board the firefox bandwagon (I strayed from it for a while because I like the fact that when I clicked the IE icon it loaded, while I had to wait for firefox)

    So I did a fresh format today and installed firefox.

    First off, when I go to download an exe, the option to run it instead of saving it is greyed out. This really bothers me as I was highly dependant on that feature. Any ideas?

    Also, tabbed browsing. I'd like to make it so it never opens a new browser, and just keeps everything tabbed. Can I do that?

    (Yeah, I couldve used the search on the second one, but im here anyway, right?)

    Dunno about the first, check your options (ctrl-j will also bring up your DL Manager)

    About the second one, if you control-click, the link opens in a tab. Does that help?

    1: safety feature. running an exe from the browser is bad, m'kay ... just save it to the desktop, and run from there.

    2: click the wheel. opens link in new tab.

    Or save it to whereever you want and click it in the download manager...
