I was just trying to download a file with Firefox (Twiki.tgz from www.twiki.org) and couldn't. All Firefox would do was open the file as if it was HTML and displayed random rubbish in the browser window. Right clicking on the link didn't offer me any useful options either.
IE just asked what I wanted to do and download it.
You just choose 'save to file' and it downloads it - well, it saves the stuff on your screen.
