How to download more than 2 files with Firefox?

I'm on a webpage with several download links. I click on the first 2 download links, that starts downloading but when I click on the third download link it doesn't start downloading until one of the first 2 downloads finishes downloading. I'm using firefox and this happens on most webpages. Is there a way around this? Is this a universal problem or am I a loner on this?

How to download more than 2 files with Firefox?
I have firefox too but that hasn't happened to me but when i do download more then 2 at a time it does take a bit longer so i think the best is to just wait for the first two to finish or eles you'll be sitting there for a while
Reply:It seems to work fine on mine. What version are you using? Perhaps that has something to do with it.

**I have Firefox too. Some days it can be a pain. But to answer your ?, after you download hit the shrink button, it looks like a dash at top right of screen. Now on your desktop you should see little icons that were not there prior to your down load. Right click on them (I don't think it is left click) then click run as or open, I have had both. Then follow the instructions on screen. This process actually installs the program on your computer. Download just puts it there but nothing more. Install makes the program usable.





** Prior to installing be sure what you are are going to install has no virus on it. Depending on what you are installing it may have add ons that you can remove in your add/remove programs.
