|_| version 3.2.1
compatible with Firefox 3+ and SeaMonkey 2+
100% free - certified by Softpedia
OpenDownload2 is an extension. get it @ AMO!
That's all.
It allows you to open /any/ file (executables, etc.) from the inter-
net into the default program assigned by your operating system, with-
out needing to save it first. Starting with version 3.0.0, you can do
that even on *ix and OSX systems. :-)
Originated in Jeremy's work I continued it to make it compatible with
Firefox 3.x, SeaMonkey 2, and later versions of these applications as
well as to provide localization files for most common languages; most
of them contributed thanks to the folks on BabelZilla.org.
During the time of development some more functionality was added. See
the change log below for a full reference.
Support for this extension is -O N L Y- provided in the MozillaZine
forums. All important FAQ are already answered there. :-)
