Description

[Joe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

I am trying to download things and every time the firefox browser captures the
download even when I want to use Go!Zilla. I need an option to choose how I
download things if I have a downloader program installed on my computer. What
I've been doing to get my downloads is closing the FireFox browser and opening
Internet Explorer and completing the download with that for it will let me use
Go!Zilla.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to:  download anything on the net or see above link.
2.Click any one of the words that say: Download  (in red print)
3.YOu will get a browser popup saying: 
What should Firefox do with this?
[ ] Open with   ________________________v
[.] Save to Disk
[ ] Do this automatically with files like this from now on.
                                  [   OK   ]   [ Cancel ]

"Save to Disk" ALWAYS has a dot selecting that option and there is no way to
choose "Open with" as that option is always greyed out.
Actual Results:  
Had a downloader available that I did not wish to use.

Expected Results:  
Gave me the option to use Go!Zilla downloader.

Open/Save is the wrong place to look: if you could Open with, that would
download a copy, and pass the filename of the copy to whatever you choose. For
an external downloader, you either want one that has a browser plugin (there are
several listed at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows4.html ), or you want bug
186940 implemented.
