So, I removed the gnome-vfs library (which also took away a number of other gnome-related libraries - no problems for me since I don't use Gnome, these libraries where leftovers ) and now firefox handles the archives as it does for other kind of files, i.e allows me to download them. I guess that firefox was trying to use gnome-vfs to show me the contents of the archives, much as other browsers do. Nice feature, but I can live without. > Justin > Ciao ----- FB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
