ESSENTIAL DOWNLOAD INFORMATION FOR FIREFOX USERS
     
                         
   
In tests, our .dnl files did not download when we clicked on the links, as they do in Explorer. Instead of the e-book we got a lot of code. (Perhaps this is because the .dnl reader is less well known than Adobe .pdf and other formats, and Mozilla may not yet have incorporated support for the it.)
       
But you can still download the files.
   
We suggest you install the downTHEMall extension.
 
With downTHEMall installed, right click on the page to open a window that shows all the links you can download.
Choose where you want to store the files on your harddrive, and select the .dnl files you want to download.
Click "Start downloads!".
For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend that you scan every file you download with your favourite anti-virus software.
