How can I download a file inside a link without right-clicking it ("save target as")?
Hi there! Does anyone know if there's any way I can download a file hosted on a link (e.g., www.ff.org/test.pdf ) without going to config and changing my preferences? I want FF to keep opening media (like pdf and mp3) on the tab when I clik on it, as a general rule. But sometimes I want to be able to download a file, and I can't right click it because all I have is the adress someone gave me. If I type that adress and hit enter, FF will open the file in a tab.
Is there any command I can pass, say, on the adress bar that will make me download the file instead of opening it in a FF tab (like download:www.ff.org/test.pdf)? Will I always have to change my preferences to be able to download a file instead of opening it when I type the link on the adress bar?
Thanks!

That is supposed to be a keyword bookmark so you need to add a keyword and invoke the bookmark by typing the keyword and a space and paste the link after it. Make sure that the link includes the protocol (http://) That creates a browser page where you can right-click the link to save the file.

You can use a bookmarklet like this to get a link that you can right-click
data:text/html,<a href="%s" >%S%</a>

Thanks cor-el!! But I fear I'm doing something wrong here, I supposed I should substitute %S% for the string adress (e.g., www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf , would make it data:text/html,<a href="%s" >www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf</a> ) this does indeed generate a link. But, when I right-click this link the option to "save link as" doesn't show (I don't know why). What am I missing?

Brilliant!! Thanks a lot for the walkthrough, I'm trying to learn code but still a far way from actually doing any learning...
