How to stop Firefox warning about downloading executable files?


Firefox always asks me where to save a file. I set it that way and I want it that way.


However, it pops up an additional unnecessary dialog box asking me that to do with the file: 'You have chosen to open xyx.exe file' which is a binary file. Would you like to save this file?. The choices are 'Save' and 'Cancel'.


Only after showing this dialog box the browser allows me to enter WHERE to save the file.


How do I get rid of the first dialog and jump directly to the second one (where to save)?



Answer



Unfortunately, Firefox just don't allow you this customization.
