Firefox config question

jor el

I have firefox 1.0 and am trying to get it to not open rar files by default. I want it to save them to disk. At the moment, if I click a link that leads to a rar file such as themes on allxboxskins.com, in the picture below, it defaults to open. The option to 'Do this automatically with rar files from now on' is greyed out. Anyone know how I can set this up.

If the link goes to a zip file though the same option box presents with save to disk selected, with rar it always selects the button beside open. I changed the selection in the picture before grabbing the screen cap.


Also, right click is not an option since many sites use a script to re-direct to the required file. Right click and save as will just save the script.

Go to Tools->Options Downloads tab. See if you have RAR set.

Yeah, should have mentioned I checked all the usual spots like that. There's no mention of Rar files in the list. I also looked through the prefs.js file but can't seem to find anything that might do it.

Is that your actual dialog. Would flashgot be causing problems?

Yeah, that's an actual screen shot. I'll remove Flashgot and see what happens.

Nada, I'm just going to ignore it now. It's not a big deal anyway, just would be handy.
