I am talking about downloading, and would be happy for a way to prevent the latest version of Mozilla from appending extensions. I don't see that your method accomplishes that. One can also edit the spurious extensions from the dialog box; one should not have to bother with this. If I have a URL that includes a file name, the default name for saving the file should be the filename as it exists on the remote server. Only smoking controlled substances can induce anybody to expect otherwise. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel Please replace "SPAM-FOILER" with "sgoodman".
