    I have Quicktime Alternative installed on Vista, however when I click on an HD trailer link, Firefox opens a new tab and streams the trailer. However, in the past on XP, whenever I clicked on a link, the mov download tool opens and I'm able to save the trailer on my computer. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

    Firefox is probably setup for that file extension to open. You can have it prompt you to download or open.

    I switched the settings in firefox to try to download, however, the file that it downloads is less than a megabyte large...so its not the hd movie. Quicktime alternative usually comes with a tool that allows you to download these movies but for some reason it is not working for me.

    Excellent little script, thanks a lot. I was going to suggest trying something like "KMP", but this is even better.
