The Applications panel allows you to choose how Firefox handles different types of content. You can choose to open the file with a plugin or an application, or you can choose to save the file to your downloads folder. This article describes the settings that are available in the '''Applications''' panel of the Firefox Options or Preferences window.

This article describes the settings that are available in the '''Applications''' panel of the Firefox [[Options Window|{for win}Options{/for}{for mac,linux}Preferences{/for} window]]. The {menu Applications} panel allows you to choose how Firefox [[Managing file types|handles different types of files]], such as PDF documents or MP3 audio clips. For each content type Firefox recognizes, you may select an action that Firefox will use to handle that type of content. You can open the file in the Firefox window with a plugin, open the file with an application installed on your computer (or in some cases, with a web application), or you can save the file to your downloads folder. {for win}[[Image:50803044dc874239dc4be66462170c40-1258704216-933-3.png]]{/for}{for mac}[[Image:50803044dc874239dc4be66462170c40-1260032544-474-1.png]]{/for}{for linux}[[Image:50803044dc874239dc4be66462170c40-1258704216-933-1.jpg]]{/for} To change how Firefox handles a file type in the list, click on its name to select it. The drop-down menu that appears will allow you to choose actions for that type of file: * '''Choose an application''': To choose a local or web application to handle a type, select the application from the drop-down menu. If you want a local application that is not in the menu to handle the type, select '''Use other...''' from the drop-down menu and point Firefox to its location. * '''Choose a feature or plugin''': If you want a feature or a plugin in Firefox to handle the type, and one is available, select it from the drop-down menu. * '''Save on your computer''': Some file types can be saved to your computer. Select '''Save File''' from the menu for one of these file types to have Firefox save that type of file to the location specified in the {menu General} panel ({menu Main} panel in Firefox 3.5) of the {for mac,linux}[[Options window - General panel#Downloads|Preferences window]]{/for}{for win}[[Options window - General panel#Downloads|Options window]]{/for}. {note}'''Note:''' When a plugin is available to handle a content type and you choose a different action for that type, Firefox will only take your chosen action when you access the type directly. For example, you may choose to open MP3 audio files with a media player application instead of using the plugin that is set to open that content type. In such cases, your chosen application will be used for file downloads but, when the content type is embedded inside a web page, Firefox will continue to use the plugin to handle the type. {/note} = Adding, removing, or editing a download action = The Applications panel has limited functionality for editing. You can change the action for an existing file type but you cannot add or remove file types. Entries are added automatically when you download files and select actions for them. See [[Managing file types#w_adding-download-actions|Adding download actions]]. {note}'''Note:''' You may get problems if you download a file that is labelled with the wrong MIME type. There is no way to identify or delete a bad entry in the list. If this happens you may need to look at the file {filepath mimeTypes.rdf }  in your [[Profiles|Firefox profile folder]]. Deleting the {filepath mimeTypes.rdf } will reset all download actions to the default settings.{/note} [[Template:backtoOptionsPreferences]]
