It is the default browser - that's the whole problem!!!

Its a real PITA that I can see no way to integrate Speedbit DAP8 download
manager into FF the same was it does with IE. If someone posts a link to a
pdf, DAP automatically accelerates the download and I can specify which
folder - FF opens the pdf instead of downloading it like I want (I wouldn't
have clicked the link otherwise!) and if I select the pulldown to save as FF
dumps it on the desktop so I have to keep weeding the desktop into my save
folder

Have you tried "Edit/Preferences/Downloads" yet?

Good Luck!
Rich

Doesn't matter now I uninstalled it - thank god for system restore,
uninstalling FF trashed IE and left me with no browser at all!!!

There are a few rare occasions where FF will work where IE won't, but on the
whole FF is worth precisely what it cost!!!

Hey, whatever works for you!

Cheers!

Which is the 'every' file?

The one that gets selected when you press the "any" key. ;-)

Cheers!

Great idea - if only it worked!!!

Downloaded and installed extension and restarted firefox - no IE view icon,
rebooted - still no IE view icon!!! So how do I fix this browser that is
"not broken"?!

No icon , but if you rightclick on the webpage,
one of the options is "open in IE"

Hmmm? I'm using FF on four machines, three are Win2K-Pro, one is
XP-Home. Nary a problem.

...Jim Thompson

Maybe it's XP-Pro ?

What do lurkers here think of XP-Pro? Is it worth upgrading to?

...Jim Thompson

If you have Win-2K don't bother, especially for a production machine.

100% agreed. WinXP is a *huge* step backwards from Win2K. Don't
do it!

My machine came with XP-Home.

Any way to go back to Win2K?

Reload it? I'm told that a license for XP includes a license for
2K (at least for my ThinkPad), but I don't now how to actually get
it. I'd likely try it if I could figure that part out.

You may have problems finding drivers for an older operating system.

Quite likely since it's a PCI-E based system. AFAIK, all ThinkPads
that came with Win2K were PCI. Oh, well...

I spend half my time refurbishing used computers removing unwanted
files, and the rest looking for and installing drivers. I'm building my
own driver database so that if I find it once, it'll be on my shop
server.
