Switched to Firefox (Waterfox) as Chrome stopped working on certain required web pages. What I miss most is the lack of ever prompting for what to do with a download. Is there a way to configure Firefox to NEVER pop up a window regarding what to do with a download and just download the file by default? Want this set for ALL downloads regardless of file type. I don't want to add an entry for every single one of the thousand available file types to the mime file.

Hi ruarc88,

Generally Firefox will not ask how to handle a file type unless it is something not common. Like maybe the first time you download an .asc file or a torrent magnet. I may not completely understand your question, but if your getting a pop-up asking where to save the file; Go to 'Options' > General > Files and Applications and select 'Save files to' and either leave it at the default folder 'Downloads' or browse and choose a different folder.

That setting is already set as per attached screenshot. I believe it's also the default option. The popup I'm referring to (also attached) is just another "are you sure? I know I asked 2 seconds ago but are you absolutely sure you want to download this file?" prompt. Seems to be with any sort of runtime type file (exe, msi, jar, etc).

Another issue with these popups is certain file types won't allow me to select "always take this action" when downloaded for the first time. Rar files are one such example where I have to click what to do every single time because there's no checkbox to remember the option. These file types also cannot be added in the options menu GUI. The only way to set them is to manually type them out in the MIME files.

What I want is I click a link for a download and the file downloads. End of story. None of these "are you sure?" or "Should I open or save this?" prompts. I click link, it's in downloads folder.

Coming from Chrome, downloads in Firefox are such a pain in comparison that I'm considering Internet Exploder as a permanent replacement.
