Make and model of network drive? --HP Priliant DL580 G5 How is you network set up? --Novell Netware 6.5 What router are you using? --Cisco router c3825 What are you trying to do with the batch file? --simple program that launches a batch file that is in the network drive Interent Explorer shows the following when launching the link. >File Download-Security Warning >do you want to run or save this file? >Name: johndoe.bat >Type: MS-DOS Batch File, 308 bytes >From T:\xx\xxxbat Has this worked in previous versions of FireFox? >no and it does not work with newer v11.

Whats the issue with using IE if it works from IE? >we have users that use FF on regular bases and just for a link to switch browser it is not user friendly. all though we are supporting two browsers we do not want to take FF out of network.

Is there a reason you want to use FireFox? >FF has gained popularity in our agency and it would be best to have this link work on FF as well.

Firefox sees that (at least local or network dive located) .bat files are text and renders them as such. To download it as a .bat file, use save page as, (or Control-S) change "text file" to "all files" and type .bat onto the end of the filename, then hit save. Not ideal I know, but better than nothing.
