That sort of worked.
I have it configured to ask me about all the files I want to save, for the purpose of having the option of using Flashget (via
flashgot) on some files.

When I do that, it does allow me to save them, but it automatically makes it so I have to save them using firefox.
Is there no way to get it to ask what I want to do with it?
