Also: @Form LOad Event: Add: AddHandler Gecko.LauncherDialog.Download, AddressOf LauncherDialog_Download

Then Private Sub LauncherDialog_Download(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Gecko.LauncherDialogEvent) e.cancel() try catch ex as exception finally e.Navigate(Nothing) 'prevent unusual DM behavior end try End Sub

Hope that helps,

This was the headache of all us, not to be able to let user to download a file in embedded (vb net) gecko browser. 'Kixpsider (long live my friend)', an anonymous genius, ended this trouble. Please follow code below in clear format:

    Dim objTarget As Gecko.nsILocalFile = Gecko.Xpcom.CreateInstance(Of Gecko.nsILocalFile)("@mozilla.org/file/local;1")
    Dim tmp_Loc As String = Application.StartupPath & "\data"
    Dim sx As Object = Nothing
    Dim fx As String = ""
    Dim saveBox As New SaveFileDialog
    Dim win As Object = Gecko.Xpcom.GetService(Of Gecko.nsIWindowWatcher)("@mozilla.org/embedcomp/window-watcher;1")

    'win.OpenWindow(Nothing, "chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul", "Downloads", "chrome,resizable=yes,hide", Nothing)

    Using tmp As New Gecko.nsAString(tmp_Loc)
        objTarget.InitWithPath(tmp)
    End Using

    If e.Filename.Contains(".") Then
        sx = Strings.Split(e.Filename, ".")
        fx = sx(sx.Length - 1).ToUpper & " File (*." & sx(sx.Length - 1) & ")|*." & sx(sx.Length - 1)
    Else
        fx = "File (*.*)|*.*"
    End If

    savebox.Filter = fx '"HTML File (*.html)|*.html"
    savebox.Title = "Save File:"
    savebox.FileName = e.Filename
    If saveBox.ShowDialog <> System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK And String.IsNullOrEmpty(saveBox.FileName) Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Dim source As Gecko.nsIURI = Gecko.IOService.CreateNsIUri(New Uri(e.Url).AbsoluteUri)
    Dim dest As Gecko.nsIURI = Gecko.IOService.CreateNsIUri(New Uri(saveBox.FileName).AbsoluteUri)
    Dim t As Gecko.nsAStringBase = DirectCast(New Gecko.nsAString(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(saveBox.FileName)), Gecko.nsAStringBase)

    Dim persist As Gecko.nsIWebBrowserPersist = Gecko.Xpcom.CreateInstance(Of Gecko.nsIWebBrowserPersist)("@mozilla.org/embedding/browser/nsWebBrowserPersist;1")
    Dim DownloadMan As Gecko.nsIDownloadManager = Gecko.Xpcom.CreateInstance(Of Gecko.nsIDownloadManager)("@mozilla.org/download-manager;1")
    Dim downloadX As Gecko.nsIDownload = DownloadMan.AddDownload(0, source, dest, t, e.Mime, 0, Nothing, DirectCast(persist, Gecko.nsICancelable), False)

    If (downloadX IsNot Nothing) Then
        persist.SetPersistFlagsAttribute(2 Or 32 Or 16384)
        persist.SetProgressListenerAttribute(DirectCast(downloadX, Gecko.nsIWebProgressListener))
        persist.SaveURI(source, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, DirectCast(dest, Gecko.nsISupports), Nothing)
    End If
