Hi -

I'm not sure this is the appropriate forum, but we don't seem to have one specifically for Firefox.

I feel this should be easy to do but I just can't find the option!

If you hold down the [ALT] key and click on a link, instead of navigating to that page, Firefox tries to download it. This wouldn't be so bad (just don't press [ALT] :) except that if I click on a link and then [ALT]-[TAB] away, this also downloads the page. It's driving me mad!

Can anyone tell me how to disable this? I'd be very happy if the [ALT] just had no effect.

I've tried downloading the KeyConfig extension but that didn't seem to reveal this option.

Thanks in advance,
Monkey36.

PS: If this is an inappropriate forum, if anyone can point me at a better one I'll go try it out. Cheers!
