Re: Strange Downloads While Using Safari...
Hmm . . . Interesting, just comparing notes here - I use Firefox for most of my mail activity, but still use Safari for Apple comms etc. Haven't been getting any odd downloads like you have, but in the past few days Command-Q has become ineffective and I've been having to Force Quit to get out of it. Otherwise, I stare at the spinning beachball forever . . . Wondering if this oddity and the behaviour you're experiencing could be somehow related? The only thing I've installed lately has been an update to Flip4Mac.
