Vampire Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Well I always used to use 2 features of IE that made my web surfing experience better. Is there any way in firefox to "save target as" instead of having to click the link, sometimes movies (mpg, wmv) start to stream when I actually want to download it. Same goes for some other extensions too. Am I blind or something because I cant see anything on firefox that does the same thing Also, because I'm on dial up, I used the "show picture" button on the right click menu of IE. I did this because when I went to a page with lots of pics, I stopped it loading when all the text was done and one by one clicked "show picture" on each of the pictures. This way it didnt try to load all the pics at once and crap up. Anyone got any ideas where these features are on firefox?

Leldorion Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 (edited) Right click and save link as...For the second though...there's an extension that'll make it so it won't load images unless you click on them (works with gif's not sure about all images) I'll find the link for that for you....just a min.

Vampire Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 ok. maybe not. i'm sure there is a way. I hope theres a way. Oh yeah and bigears, Firefox is still much better than IE. Stops so much popups and spyware/adware. Seriously, when I was using IE, ad aware found much more adware on my comp than when I started using firefox.
