When i select the "open with" option for a download, it is automatically saved in the "Downloads" folder at the same time. I am using firefox 14 on mac os x. I dont know if it is the mac os x issue or i am missing something. Because on windows, when u use open with option, the file is saved to a temporary folder. Kindly, guide me how can i avoid this automatic saving while i only want to open it with the default program.

I have synched my windows n mac machines. But with same plugins and add-ons, the open with option is working fine on my windows machine. Why is the problem only with mac ?
