What do I need to do to open the downloaded file? It appears that stuff downloaded via safari is in one file and downloads via Firefox are in another.

Thanks for your help. I fired Firefox up in safe mode; disabled the programmes I had on there and then I was able to retrieve my downloads from the download list.

Many thanks. Have a great day )
