thanks.

Check and see how your download settings are (Tools > Options > Downloads tab > View and Edit Actions button). If that's working fine, then do the ol' Right Click > Save link as. If that doesn't work...hell, you must have broke something pretty good. XD

As for Firefox 2.0, I waited until it was officially relased (unlike most people who saw the "ZOMG IT BE OUTS NOWZ!@121!@" type "releases" at places like slashdot) before installing it. But before that, I had a backup made - just in case. And it paid off, because even though the majority of it was A-OK, key features bombed - such as:

* firefusk. If you don't know what this is, then I won't tell you
* super dragandgo. I use this waaaaaay too much to leave it behind, and even though it had an update for FF 2, it didn't work.
* the "manditory-restore-on-reset" feature. Makes restarting a pain, mainly because I often have a few (dozen) tabs open when I have to restart to update extensions (and yes, I have an extension for restarting)

There's an edit for the last one, but I shouldn't have to hack Firefox when there should be an option for it. All in all, I'm back on 1.5.0.7.

Does that option allow you to cancel it from automatically restoring every tab open?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Weird. I mean, I knew it didn't restore if you completely close the program and re-open it, but since I have a few profiles I use my 'Restart Firefox' extension to skip having to choose the same profile again. The bothering thing is that the auto-restore treated it like I had an error and restored everything. D:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Dunno if its caused by FF2 - since I've been installing a bunch of softwares at the time. But after searching through the Mozillazine forums, I found others are getting the exact same error after installing Firefox 2. Anyone here have the problem?

I haven't, and I've installed it more than once. XD Were there any common factors between your setup and theirs, listed in the forums? (Extensions installed, form of shutting down ["close" vs using Windows Task Manager], so on and so forth)

I was speaking idiomatically.
