But if you don’t like it, you can always keep using the prompt like some people use their Chromium browsers. This change is just Firefox fantasizing about people switching from Chromium to Firefox and not just be Firefox the dying browser so they want to give one little option that Chromium browsers have. The funny thing is a button that says “open with” was always worst than a setting to automatically download a files to a folder, I mean, if we count that you could Open With and then check a box that says “do this automatically from now” it was always worst and not much happened from it. I mean, If you don’t want to use it then don’t use it. To reset the “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” setting to the default (so that Firefox will prompt and ask for selection and confirmation again), simply highlight the File Type or Content Type you want to change, then select Always ask, or click on Remove Action button in older version of Firefox.I don’t even like Mozilla or Firefox but people sound dumb complaining about this. You will see a list of all file types or extensions with their associated actions.Newer version of Firefox will show a list of all apps directly.


Once you check or tick the option, Firefox will automatically perform the selected action whenever you click on the same file type (extension) in future, function in a similar way to Always ask before opening this type of file checkbox in Windows.Īfter checking the check box and set the automatic handling preference, Firefox will not prompt for selection anymore, but will instead automatically handle the file. At the bottom of the pop up window, you’re also given an option to whether Do this automatically for files like this from now on. Whenever you download a file from Internet, Firefox web browser will prompt a dialog asking if you would like to open the file with a specified application or save the file to disk.
