Thanks, that is good to know, but it still does not solve the problem for
me. I just skimmed the page and maybe I have missed some things, but I see
some problems:

- I don't find the configuration files. Neither in the installation
directory (/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/) nor in my local ~/.mozilla directory.

The other problems might be more importand, because I don't see how to
change the binding even if I had found the configuration files:

- I did not find a command for "Save Link As..." in the given list.
The text says, that I "can use anything that's registered with a command
handler in the window". How can I get the name of the "Save Link As..."
command (if there is any)?

- I don't see how to define a binding for the left mouse button.

Can anybody help me?
