Bah. Guess it's to be expected from Firefox moving mainstream. Interesting. Out of the three browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera, the producers of Opera seem to be the best at producing patches.

I never use the " save link as " feature on my browser...if I want access to a link I just bookmark it or drag n' drop onto my link bar.



Sorry about your friend Tim, xierox!

Took me a few tries to get this one to work. Interestingly, if I put some text (say a period) after the first link the download is fine.
