Hi,

I've been trying to automatically save "text/csv" files to the download folder. I did not want to see the "Opening xxx.csv" prompt which had "Open With" and "Save to" options. I wanted to avoid this prompt and just save the files directly to download directory and not open them once download completed. I'm running selenium tests to download the files and i'd be more interested to know about any user_pref options i could use to achieve this.

I tried using user_pref("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/csv,text") in the prefs.js file in the firefox profile directory, but the prompt still shows up. Appreciate some help!

Thanks, Subashini

You can only set an automatic download action for a specific MIME type, so if this isn't working then you need to check how the servers sends the csv files and possibly configure the server correctly if you have access.

Maybe the following add-on can do what you need:

Export-to-csv

@smo.. thanks for the response.. the Export-to-csv plugin says its for exporting HTML table data as CSV file. But i already have a link to the csv, i just want it downloaded to the the download directory when i click the link, I was able to do this in chrome, but not sure how to enable the user preferences to do this.

Thanks, Subashini

@cor-el Appreciate your help! I think this would solve the issue.The MIME type for the file was "application/octet-stream". I tried setting the MIME type to "text/csv" locally and was able to save the files without the prompt. Thanks Again! Subashini
