Hi, I have made a program in php that only works on Firefox, and that is used to handle (create, read, write,...) files in the server, using the file:///// protocol.

Everything is working fine on several networks,... until the last one I've just installed, in a Windows computer, with Firefox 96.

The behaviour is very wierd. When I click on the link (with the file:// protocol) it opens the classical popup asking if I want to open or download it, and the checkbox with the option to not to ask it again...

-> If I don't check the checkbox, it is always opened as a read only file, and I can't modify it, logically. -> If I check the checkbox, the file is opened as a read only file, but afterwards, when I click the link (and there is no popup window with that question) the file is always opened correctly, in edit mode.

I can confirm that the system permissions are okay.

Hola No se si lo pudiste resolver, el tema que en este foro (Español) no hay programadores para responder ese pregunta, sugiero consultar en el foro de Soporte de Firefox pero en Ingles, en un foro de desarrolladores de web, etc como https://stackoverflow.com/ o en el foro de Firefox de reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/

Luego escribir la respuesta acá para que sierva a otros usuarios. Saludos
