Synopsis: the IE 6 popup blocker doesn't always work because there's an easy workaround wtih ActiveX. Yet another reason to switch to Firefox (or turn off ActiveX in IE).

The only shortcoming I have found with Firefox is the ability to save video clips on the web. I was trying to save the Harry Potter movie trailers the other day and when you right click on the link that plays the movie, there is no "Save Target As" option as there is in IE. Is there a way around this in Firefox??
