I don't need help but want you to add a Run option when I am downloading files instead of making me save it first.
All I want to do is to be able to run downloaded files as a direct option in the download process, not have to save them somewhere first. The saving is often a nuisance and waste of my time.

You can do that with the OpenDownload add-on.
There is a security reason for forcing a Save to the hard drive. Saving to the hard drive first, allows your anti-virus/anti-spyware application an opportunity to examine the file before installation; the run option does not allow your AV/AS application to do that before installation.
The information submitted with your question indicates that you have out of date plugins with known security and stability issues that should be updated. To see the plugins submitted with your question, click "More system details..." to the right of your original question post.

Be careful with running a program directly as that exposes you to security vulnerabilities as your AV software may not be able to scan the file before running.
