When I attempt to download the firefox 4.0 update, I click on download and then a drop-down menu comes on the screen asking me if I want to save the file or open it. If I click on Save, I get a Download screen which shows a blue bar across the top as if it's downloading, but when it finishes, nothing happens and it is not downloaded. If I choose Open and choose open with firefox appl, nothing happens. Please advise how to correctly download, step-by-step. Thank you.

If you don't usually get a choice of where to save a downloaded file, you can change that using:

Edit > Preferences > General > "Always ask me where to save files"

Then you may want to go directly to the source:

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

You should get the options to Save File or Cancel (not Open). Hopefully after saving you will be able to find the downloaded file in the location you specified.

One other note, before upgrading, you may want to back up your Firefox settings just in case. Backing up your information.

Thanks for responding, but it did not help. I did what you recommended, but after it "downloads," nothing happens. I never get the prompt to drag the firefox icon, as it indicates. Please try again. Thanks very much.
