In the past,Firefox would allow me to download my banking data directly into Quicken but now I have to save the downloaded file and then open it to download the data into Quicken. I tried using the applications settings in General settings but I cannot add it into the box no matter what formula I use and yet it says to choose how firefox handles files I download from the web

The procedure to add file types to Applications is outlined in the link below.

You will find now that the file is no longer downloaded to your temp folder when you open it in an external application. There is a preference in about:config which you can change to enable you to choose a download location but you haven't asked about that.
