When I try to download a program, the pop-up only gives me the option to "save" the program, instead of giving me the option to "run" the program. How do I fix this?

I have tried downloading iTunes (and Quicktime), but instead of giving me the option to "run" the program, Firefox only gives me the option to "save" the program (which I already tried, does not work to give me access to the downloaded program). Is there a setting I need to change?

That's intentional, because running exe files from your browser is a major security concern. You can run the file after you have downloaded it. If you don't know where it is on your computer, go to Tools > Downloads, and double-click on it from the Downloads window.
