I had to click where i should not (somewhere on the dialog box !), s
that now every time I click a link for a Download, the zip file open
and runs automatically instead of the dialog box normally opens t
display the original choice of "Open" "Save" "Cancel" ...
So please, someone knows how to reset the dialog-box "Downloads "
