How do I "Save As" a file?

Scenario: I used Barcode Scanner to scan the barcode for some software (an Android .apk) file. It offered me:
- Email to someone
- SMS to someone
- Open in browser
So I did the third. It then asked me: "Native browser or Firefox?". The native browser hands these off to the Market.
Expected Result: I assumed Firefox would do the same.
Result: Firefox displays it as a big block of ugly text.
And there's no "Save As" function so I can save it to disk and open it from there! Where is the Save As function? I don't want to save as a PDF, I just want to save the file as I downloaded it.
(For bonus points, please also tell me how to alter file associations.)

"Save As" was not left out because of anything specific against that feature - it's just that mobile Firefox has a fairly minimal user interface, and we have been slow to add any new features (in an attempt to keep the interface uncluttered and usable). Often we write add-ons so that users who miss them can add these extra features. I may do this for "Save Page As" if it's not added to a future version of Fennec.
We do delegate to Android's OS-level MIME type handling. Every Android app registers a list of file types it can handle, and the OS will pop up a dialog asking you to choose an app (and offering to set a default). You can select an app and press "Clear defaults" in Android's "Manage Applications" settings if you want to change the default later.

  • How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

    How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

    You will need to select the attachment and open in another app.  If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
    For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go. 
    There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
    If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

  • How do I save a pdf file to my hard drive ?

    How do I save a pdf file to my hard drive ?  My CC statements are sent as a pdf file and I would like to save them.

    The same way you save ANY email attachment... which is going to depend on the email program you use... so check with support for your email program (or the help file to learn how to save an attachment)
    When you OPEN a PDF attachment, what program are you using... Acrobat or Reader... both have options to save files

    how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

    If the web page is designed to let you save files it will often have a download link, or if it is a link to the file directly you can try to right click on the file.  If it isn't set up that way then they probably don't intend for the file to be downloaded.

    You need to explin your workflow better.
    The "Save" action may be initiated by a "Share" or "Export" option depending on the app you are using. For instance, QT 7 Pro has "Save", "Save As...", "Share...", "Export...", and "Export for Web..." options depending on what you are specificly trying to do. On the other hand, QT X may have "Duplicate", "Export...", Export To", and/or "Share" options for various goals.
    Are you trying to record a new audio file using a mic, extract and save an audio track from a video, export audio from a video file, save an internet audio file that opened in the QT player, save an online audio file, etc?

  • How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

    How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable audio file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

    In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
    So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
    1.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.jpg
    2.  Save a JPEG as:  abc
    3.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.
    4.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.xxx
    Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
    1.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with):  abc
    2.  No difference than 3 on a PC.
    3.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type:  abc.
    4.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type:  abc.xxx
    How is it different from the above on a Mac?
    Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here?  I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).
