    (there are legal thing on pirate bay so dont jump to conclusions, it was just an example). Not sure if im in the exact rite place but ill give it a go. I just got a new laptop and put firefox on it a few days ago, its working grand but when im in firefox and click on say a download link in a web site it wont download. it only works if i right click and open the download in a second tab. this is more of just an annoyance than a problem but any info on a solution would be appreciated

    Does a little alert space appear between the top address bar and the page proper? U may have to click that to download the .exe.

    :confused: Who said anything about The Pirate Bay? Anyway, do you have an example of what you're trying to download? Are you trying to download a torrent or an executable file?

    Fair enough, I didn't see that link. Do you have an example of an executable download link that's not behaving as you expect?
