We have found that it is often related to a conflict with the htaccess rules. This kind of file cannot be opened in a browser and therefore the download is prompted. The server seems to be setting the mime type of the GZIP-ed HTML cache file to application/octet-stream. We have seen this issue more often on LiteSpeed and OpenLiteSpeed servers than others. We do not yet know the exact cause of the problem. On Chrome, you will be prompted to open a file named: Download Cause When trying to visit pages on your website, instead of the page opening normally, you get a popup asking you to download a file. People tend to overlook the fact that Firefox might well provide them with unwanted options, but would you prefer to have no choice but to just accept them, without the option to change them, as is the case with so many other browsers? This inevitably, makes FF customization slow, long, and laborious, but worth it in the end.Browser downloads file when opening a page Problem On another machine with a new install, the newly generated prefs.js and user.js can be overwritten with your backups and it saves time in the event of a disaster needing re-installation. Your download options are stored in these java script files along with all your other preferences. You have to do this each time you make a change in about:config. All you have to do then is substitute the new one for your back up, and that becomes YOUR own default configuration. BUT once you have all of that done, make a back up of prefs.js and user.js. If you are using a default install of FF it takes a while to sort out all your user preferences, in fact it takes a bloody long time !. I would expect these people who complain so much not to use Safe Browsing but I guess I am wrong, or maybe they just complain because they need a hobby that doesn’t include the internet.

I have turned it off and I always get a nice prompt asking me if I want to download the file because it is so unsafe since it wasn’t checked against a server, but I don’t have to choose a folder, I still get prompted, I only don’t need to see some stupid file browser window. The problem also is how the article talks about some dumb vulnerability like 5 years ago, and it was Window’s fault, not Chrome, if a file is processed as soon as you enter the folder where it was opened, then downloading it with or without prompt would do the same.Īnd I mean, people complaining about how insecure downloading automatically is, well, you have Safe Browsing on, and you are giving your data to Google. But if you don’t like it, you can always keep using the prompt like some people use their Chromium browsers. This change is just Firefox fantasizing about people switching from Chromium to Firefox and not just be Firefox the dying browser so they want to give one little option that Chromium browsers have. The funny thing is a button that says “open with” was always worst than a setting to automatically download a files to a folder, I mean, if we count that you could Open With and then check a box that says “do this automatically from now” it was always worst and not much happened from it.

I mean, If you don’t want to use it then don’t use it. I don’t even like Mozilla or Firefox but people sound dumb complaining about this.
