DownThemAll Firefox Addon One Click Download

I am using DownThemAll on Firefox 31 (all updated to latest versions only). I want that when I click an .exe in Firefox it should automatically start downloading it (Like in Google Chrome). Checked all preferences in DownThemAll but there is no such option. I am OK to use Mozilla's default download and uninstall this extension as well, but the default extension does the same thing. I have to download 100's of files and I cannot click on Save File every time it has to be downloaded. It's irritating.

Hi Anshuman Goyal, I understand that it is irritating to click three times to download a file when you have to download so many files!

In the dialogue to download a file there is an option to remember the action for the next time you decide to download a file with the same extension.

In the attached image there is a check box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" needs to be checked to get rid of an extra click.

I hope this saves you time. As for the addon, please check out their FAQ page for more help http://www.downthemall.net/howto/faq/#faq5

This is for Default Download Manager (Firefox in0built in). But I want this to happen with Download Them All One Click. I want all my downloads to be downloaded by DTA and disable Firefox own Download manager. Is this possible to do?
