Open file without asking

Firefox Troubleshooting

I've set pdf files to open with my default application (without asking). Nerveless, FF keeps asking whether to save or open the file. (The same happens with any file type, and also in safe mode and a new profile).

Any idea?

Thanks.

Try go to Tools >> Addons >> Plugins , try set the plugins to Always active, then test again.

Also try check your plugins:

When you said that you already set the default application, are you talking in the application menu?

My default application is set in Windows. In Options -> Application I've set pdf to always open.

The same happens with any file type.

I don't have any pdf plugin installed.

Thank you.
