Hey there,
When I was attempting to download a video today I right clicked as usual on the mpeg and chose 'Save Link As' but a message came up saying "item not found, web page may have changed address" or something to that effect. I should say that I have been using Firefox only recently and it has been working well so far with the downloading of stuff. I discovered that by choosing 'Open Link in a New Window' instead of my usual 'Save Link As', a new window opens and then a Firefox box pops up allowing me to save the file to disk. Any ideas why 'Save Link As' is not working for me as it normally does.
I believe it may be something to do with Javascript and/or Flash, though I have not changed any of the settings on my browser. This is because other sites with either Flash content or Javascript (ie login boxes, buttons) have been slow to load recently. In particular my Facebook page takes a long time to load and also when I click on things like the Reply button in Yahoo Mail, it also takes longer than usual to come up with the page. Do you think I might be onto something here? Do I need to change settings and should I try installing Firefox v2.0 as well?
Thanks in advance for your help.
