[NJTechDiv] {Spam?} Re: Downloading in Firefox

[Mario Brusco]

that's good. BTW, for anyone interested, the same named extension is 
available for Chrome, but it'll have to be found and installed from 
Google's Play Store.

  Hi Mario.
  I just got the add-on, and then downloaded something, and it worked great!
  Nice, loud sound, too.  This will be a big help. Thanks!

  anyone correct me if I am wrong on this, but the file
  cannot be saved from the media player because it hasn't finished being
  downloaded. however, there is an extension that plays a ding sound when
  the download has finished being saved:

  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-sound/

  using Firefox, use the above URL to install it. I believe there is an
  "Add" button or link and then you need to allow the installation to
  proceed. I can't give better directions because I already have it
  installed. but I can Tandem in to your computer to help get it installed
  if you're having difficulty, that is if you want to install an extension?

  Tandem is totally safe. there is no chance of cross contamination of
  virus or spyware infection.

  Downloading in Firefox confuses me.  I pick a download link, and, after
  what seems a reasonable time, I do control-j to open the download
  folder.  I'm usually downloading a video file, say, an MP4.I see my
  filename and the words "open containing folder".

  If I hit Enter, it starts to play my file, but I can't save it from the
  media player.

  If I don't hit enter, and try to copy the file elsewhere, I can't do
  that.  The file doesn't get selected, no matter what I do.

  I often end up copying the original link into Internet Explorer, where I
  get a notification when my file is done downloading, and where my file
  ends up as a file, and not a mysterious folder.

  Am I doing something wrong in Firefox?
