I use a lot of excel files with ETM and when I pull a report, I need it to open with excel in a CSV file. That open no longer appears in the setting list.

When I try to open the report, it just takes me to a folder to download the report and then I have to manually open it with excel.

Can that please be fixed. It was working fine and then I noticed my firefox was updated last night, and this morning I can no longer use it correctly.

Chosen solution

Firefox 98 has changed how file downloads are handled. See How file downloads are handled in Firefox.

You should be able to add a new Firefox setting for files that you can open with an application, using the "Always Open Similar Files" context menu item from the Firefox Downloads panel or Downloads Library. For details, see Manage file types and download actions in Firefox "Adding download actions".
