Hi,
My problem seems more general. Upon attempted download with or
without holding down the shift key, firefox opens the file in a new
browser window. I can't identify anything out of the ordinary in
about:config settings for firefox. Ideas please. Is this a problem
with FC6 IA64. I don't seem to find it listed.

Check Edit > Preferences > Downloads > View & Edit Actions

BIN BIN file Save to Disk

Anne,
I checked that. On firefox 1.5.0.9 when I open up Edit >Preferences >
Downloads > View and Edit Actions the list is blank. The problem is I
cannot figure out how to add an item as you describe to the list. Where
is the list stored or how do you edit this?

When you download, the download manage should ask you whether you want to open
the package or save to disk. I set the preferences to download to
~/Downloads, so when, as I always do, I say 'save to disk' I know it will end
up there. That will automatically create that entry for you.
