I know how to send a file to a certain application with FF. I also know how to change those settings. The problem is: when I choose a helper application I can only choose between .com and .exe files but I need to send this file to a good old batch file with extension .bat.

Is this possible and how?

(Using FF 52.6.0 32bit on a Win7pro 64bit machine)

No ideas to get around this design flaw so far? Well, I helped myself with a BAT2EXE-converter - ridiculous solution for such a simple problem, but gets my stuff working.

I just read what you wrote and have no idea what your talking about is so confusing and gives no other software then FF leads no one to figure what to follow.

I don't think that you can select a .BAT file to open a file via the open with download dialog, so using a BAT2EXE-converter is probably the only possible workaround.

I will mark your above reply as the solution.
