I don't get the run option in the downloads dialogue box in Firefox. I do get it in Explorer. Why?

I'm currently using Firefox 8, but whenever I try to download a program, like Thunderbird, I can only get Save and Cancel options in the dialogue box. I have to use Explorer to download properly. I have a Sony Vaio NW26M with Windows 7 as operating system. I don't feel clever enough to run Unix or Ubuntu, so I've never tried them.

If there's a sensible place to save Thunderbird and a way of downloading without having to use MS Explorer I'd be glad to know what it is.

Try right-clicking, to bring up a context menu. For an install "Open" would be the same as run.

Since you mention Thunderbird, the install would ask for that application to ended once the installation actually starts.
