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.
It's the same for me in Firefox 1.07. If I just [left] click the download link my screen fills with junk. If I right click the link I don't get offered a 'Save to File' option.
Ah, it's the beta releases cause the problem, the stable ones are fine. Try going to http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiBetaRelease and clicking on the top Download link.
