pdf files in firefox

Post by m2babaey »

Hi
when i want to view a pdf doc and click a pdf link in firefox (for example of 2.5MB) firefox takes time to load it and almost becomes locked. then when i want to save i have to wait again until it is downloaded again
how can i set firefox not to load pdf files in browser and just downloads it?
if you know how to do it by free download manager that would help too.
thank you for your help :wink:

OK THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT, I WARN YOU PHEW, THESE ARE UNCHARTED TERRITORIES, what i am telling you can affect your browsing life for ever. There is this thing called RIGHT CLICK which you can do on your links and then click the "SAVE TARGET AS" AND my friend here who is UNDERCOVER(silenceGhost{HIS ID}) for some secret matters tells me "GET RID OF FIREFOX adobe plugins " then you can directly download it.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: heheeh wans't that fun

Here is another solution also you can right click the link and copy the link location and add that link to your download manager such as flashget DAP gigaget etc and download it... :o :o
