How do I change the download behavior so that the "save as" radio button is selected by default instead of "open with" in the download window?

For most file types whose download behavior is set to "always ask" the "save as" option is selected by default in the download window. However, for a few others the "open with" option is selected instead.
Note that Firefox is not automatically opening some files instead of saving them. I still get to choose between saving or opening them, but certain file types start with "open" selected whereas for others "save" is the default.
What I'm looking for is a way to change all file types to default to "save as" in the download window.

  • How can I change the CS5 Windows version for a Mac version?

    I want to change from Windows to Mac, but I can't afford to buy new products.  Is this the only way or is there some kind of transfer?

    You don't need to do the transfer process since your CS5.5 is not eligible for transfer.
    You would have to pay the upgrade cost to upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6

    If you choose that route, just buy the CS6 for Mac (upgrade version). No more to do.
    Install CS6 on your Mac (no need to install CS5.5 first), enter your CS6 (Mac) upgrade serial number then enter your CS5.5 (Win) serial number when prompted.
    And I'm embarrassed to say that my knowledge of the cloud is limited.  Why do you advise to join in relationship to the discussion?
    I'm not necessarily advising you to join. That's your decision based on reading the material on the Adobe website.
    I don't work for Adobe. Just giving you options. I've no idea of your needs or requirements or workflow. Only you know that and if the Cloud is worth your while and fits into your budget.
    The Cloud is available by subscription only and gives you access to current versions of just about all major Adobe software titles. Check the website to see exactly what is, and is not, included. When you stop paying your monthly membership fee, your software stops working.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

    How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)
    For example...
    I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
    I click on select file on the website
    Finder opens and defaults to 'Downloads' folder (it happens with all wesbites)
    How do I change this?

    I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
    I click on select file on the website
    You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
    To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences.  If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums.  I do not use Safari.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

  • How do I change the name and author of the book I have downloaded?

    I have bought and downloaded a book which has turned up in my library with the title Dokument1 and the author as Pero - to say the least, not correct.  How can I change the name so I know what it actually is and who actually wrote it?  Gotta say - I'm new to Digital Editions and so far I am completely unwhelmed.  Mobipocket is 5000 times better.  Seriously.

    I also have the same problem, it's very annoying. It seems to me that nothing can be done about it.

  • I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    Apologies if this is an off-target question, but had you bought the HD season originally or just the SD version?
    The reason I ask is that I have had similiar difficulties with the autodown load and when I check for available downloads on season passes, it says all downloaded.
    Then, when I go to the store and search for the season, it first brings up the HD season indicating I would need to make a new purchase, but if I select on SD, there are my purchases and I can freely (and manually) download the latest episode without new cost.
    Needless to say, neither of us should have to go looking. Here is the iTunes technical support email: <[email protected]>. I encourage you to email them. I have already done so but I think it helps for anyone with this problem to also do so, so that they will realize it is a wider spread issue and not a human error by a single user.

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • How do I change the names of the pdf's in my Nexus 7 downloads?

    How di I change the names of the pdf's in my Nexus & downloads?

    Adobe Reader is a standalone application on Android and it doesn't have a browser plug-in. So you can't open a PDF directly in Adobe Reader without downloading it first.
