Answer» When clicking on links that point to a file on the some sites, my browser (IE/Chrome) used to open it as a pop up window instead of prompting me to save it. But now only Firefox do so, which I regard as normal. While the same link open as pop-up in Firefox and not IE/Chrome, I assume it is not SOMETHING to do with the site, but the browser setting? I did not change any setting on my IE/Chrome, it just happen so all of a sudden.Quote When clicking on links that point to a file on the some sites, ... I think this needs some clarification. I believe you're TALKING about downloading a file. Is that right? Example, when I want to view my Purchase Order on my vendor's site, in the past, when I click on the PO number, it'll display as a pop-up, but now it prompts me to save the file as .aspx file. Did you CHECK your IE Internet OPTIONS->Security tab->Custom Level->look for Download options for enabling and disabling automatic prompting and file downloads. Click Yes and Apply. Also, if you right-click on the link do you have all of the options? What happens if you choose "open" from there?Hi Jason, IE and Firefox work fine. My problem occurs with Chrome.Hi Allan, in Chrome, when I right click on the link, I have Back, Forward, Reload, Save as, Print, Translate to English, View page source, View page info, Inspect elemenQuote IE and Firefox work fine Won't 2 browsers suffice your need?? My primary browser is Rockmelt. I don't use IE most of the time except when I need to download things (because both Chrome and Rockmelt never solved the CRASHING problem during downloading), and Firefox is slow and draining system resources that I have to restart it periodically.
