My lap top has a virus I am trying to eliminate. To do so, I have to download a registry fix on a clean computer and transfer it to my infected laptop. But I don't want the reg fix on the clean computer, so I don't want to open the download, I just want it on the travel drive.

I assume that you are referring to the download manager window in your above post and not to a link on the page where you downloaded the file from like we assumed in our responses.

Can you right-click on the registry file link and choose "Save File As..." and browse to your travel drive?

or

When Firefox brings up the dialog box asking to save or open, click save and browse to the travel drive to save it there.

If the file is send as text/plain then Firefox will open it as a text file in a tab.

You can force a download if you press the Alt key and left-click a link.

Thanks for the suggestion, my right click doesn't bring up a save option with the downloads, which is the problem.

But I figured it out. Right click offers the option of opening the file or opening the file folder, which when I do the second, I can save the file where I want! Yay!

But thanks for taking the time to help.

Yes, Cor-el. I wasn't very clear about that. From the download window there is no save function. But if I open the folder instead of the file, I can.

Thanks

File entries that you see in the Download manager are files that you've already downloaded and saved to a folder on your desktop. You can't save them a second time or move them to a different location unless you would download the file a second time (right-click: Copy Download Link). So opening the containing folder like you did is the correct way to proceed in this case.
