[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1065126]
Can you please just mark it WONTFIX so we can move on? Keeping it open is just giving people false hope that it might actually be fixed, when it's obvious that it never will. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Downloading an unknown file type in Firefox displays a dialog for choosing which application to use for opening the file.

The decision was made years ago. This will never be fixed, but actually SAYING it will never be fixed will generate negative comments.

Of course there's a security risk to handling attachment downloads. Simply surfing the web is a huge security risk. Allow me to make the decision to automatically (without a prompt) decide to download or open a specific type of file, because I know what I'm doing. Don't make it the default, so Grandma doesn't get pwned, but don't limit me to Grandma's training wheels. But regardless of whether you allow me to actually use my computer how I want to, STOP LYING TO ME. When you tell me that checking a box will do something, and it does not do that thing, and you KNOW it doesn't do that thing, you're lying to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Downloading an unknown file type in Firefox displays a dialog for choosing which application to use for opening the file.
