Unable to download using Vista; FF goes to run or save; I've selected both; download goes thru "downloading" and then disappears; can't find anywhere; have tried this many, many times on two identical computer setups.
Have tried many times to download both Firefox and Thunderbird on two 2-year old, rarely used, identical computers, both using Vista. (I downloaded both successfully on an old computer using XP.) The program goes thru the downloading process; alternately I've told it to "run", "save", "save to desktop", "save to my documents folder on desktop." It disappears when through downloading. I've checked in these folders plus temporary folder as found through "tools/internet options. I've tried to find these downloads by using "run" and using every word I can think of to help find them (temporary folder/or User/my name/firefox 3.6.9.ext and others. Get the message can't be found. Any help sincerely appreciated. Thank you. Jim
