1. There is one drawback that have come'd by switching IE Explorer to Firefox
when you are about to save a file do disc like the picture indicates, you could operate inside that folder with right klick, for example create
a new subfolder throu that way without opening the folder, and right klick to view the files there not the least

In firefox however that way is completley locked, annoying, i have heard a rumour that it can exist an downloadable "add" or settings that releases this lock?

2. I think Firefox integranted popup stopper doing a hell of a!...bad job :)
it slips throu about 50 % of the popup in my view, is there some complements?, or hidden settings?, or third party ones who works for Firefox? that will close the holes?

  1. The file picker window is handled by the operating system, not Firefox. I have no problem creating, renaming or deleting folders in Windows Vista or Windows XP. In Windows Explorer, right-click those folders, choose Properties and make sure "Read Only" is not checked.

1.
I see that it works now :-k however you(i) must do 2-3 right klick attemps in a white(no object) area inside a folder before "new -" will extend its alternatives, and i can find "create new folder"..cause klicking so 1 time only will not show thoose aternatives , instead "new - new" then you cant get any further =D> anyhow i guess its solved if i from now on right klick a fiew fast times and dont give up

2. I installed "Yes popups" and im really pleased that it could block everything now, exept i wasnt so pleased of the detail that it allso includes blocking all (i dont know the english word Image

  1. Click the New Folder button instead.

  2. You're talking about links that are set to open in a new tab. I don't think there's a particular term for them. You can middle-click to force the link to open in a new tab, or you can try TargetKiller to remove the target attribute from links. This will make most links open in the same tab when left-clicked. Javascript links will not be affected.
