[mkgmap-dev] Downloading pbf files

Tue Feb 21 12:32:45 GMT 2012

Hi,

on Ubuntu  Firefox still ask what to do with the files. But you can try 
following:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Applications%20panel?s=settings+window&r=4&e=sph&as=s
and then choose "Always ask "
I hope this helps.

//Cheers, Martin
