me app settings for zip and rar files is to always open them after download. despite these settings, every time i download a zip or rar file, the "what to do" window appears.

Firefox doesn't use the file extension to determine the action for downloads, it uses the MIME-type. If the MIME-type is incorrect or missing, Firefox defaults to asking the user.
