How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.

I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.

How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

The server may be sending the file with another MIME type than was use to save that file action or the file may be send as Content-Disposition.
That is always hard to tell.

You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

Cheers for the reply.

I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.

From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.

I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.

I pulled this from the rdf file 

<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/x-qif"
                  NC:alwaysAsk="false"
                  NC:saveToDisk="false"
                  NC:useSystemDefault="false"
                  NC:handleInternal="false">
   <NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:text/x-qif"/>
   <NC:possibleApplication RDF:resource="urn:handler:local:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe"/>
 </RDF:Description>
 <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:scheme:webcal"
                  NC:value="webcal">
   <NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:scheme:handler:webcal"/>
 </RDF:Description>
 <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:text/x-qif"
                  NC:path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe"
                  NC:prettyName="msmoney.exe" />


Not sure if that helps.

Thanks again for the reply
