Hello All,

I used to be able to click a link and download it directly through the downloads folder. I tried to download my printer driver, and clicking it only resulted in endless page loading. I noticed that I have to right click the download button and save it to the download folder for it to work.

Do you have any idea how I could possibly make it back to download normally (ie: just left clicking link) :(
Its kind of annoying…

PS: its the same for Firefox and Safari.

Thank you !

Sounds like the encoding on the webpage is the culprit - I don't think it's on your end.

Try downloading something from another site. You might not get the same result.
 
I did not register for one to one though =/
But thanks anyway, will try to figure this out ^^
The joys of new operating system lol.
 
Hi, thanks for the feedback.
I tried to download from another website (Gimp) but same results. It looks as if pop out downloads don't come up anymore :(
