Why don't I see the popup option to RUN when I try to download a file under Firefox that I get in Internet Explorer which is where I turn to to download a program ?

In Internet Explorer I always get the popup options RUN, SAVE, CANCEL. In Firefox I only get SAVE & CANCEL. When I click SAVE a "binary" file gets downloaded but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that.

Thanks for your help

Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902
