This is default browser behavior, and cannot be changed. Mozilla, or any other browser, will do essentially the same thing, even under Linux. Besides, you never want to download a file directly to a floppy or Zip disk -- you should always D/L it to the hard drive first, since floppies and Zips are relatively unreliable.
