How can I get rid of this limitation? Bye Christophe Open Firefox. Click the Tools button, select the Downloads section, select the radio button that says something like Ask me where..., click OK. Close Firefox, open it again and go to a site that has something you want to download. Click the link and a dialogue should open that will allow you to browse through your home directories. Select the location you want to save the file, click save (or whatever it is) and that's where the file will be when you're done.

Maybe it's something weird with my set up.. but I can't seem to work it out - do you knwo your script works with the firefox release? Maybe the ping() is broken in firefox? thanks for any help you can offer I remember there being a problem with it in another release, but I can't remember off-hand what it was. It's working fine here with firefox 0.8. BTW, the return code of the ping is 2 if there's no open instance. What do you get when you try the ping manually? ie /usr/local/firefox/firefox -remote ping() or whatever your path is and then try echo $? Todd If browser is running, I get: 0 If browser is not running, I get: 0 Hmm.. but if I send the new-tab command when no broswer is open, I get a $? of 1 I think therefore that I can use that instead. try for a new-tab, and if I get a 1 from that, to just open the URL. But the new-tab request fails, running the script at command line gives me a message of 'Failed to send command.' and the rest of the script to open a new instance just does not run :/ I'm copying the list on this one in case others are having the same problem. Sorry, I'm at a loss. Did you install a MDK rpm or d/l it from mozilla? (I always d/l from mozilla.) You might try the firefox forums at mozillazine. I haven't visited in some time, but I recall that this topic comes up rather frequently. Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
