The fix for this as far as Firefox is concerned is riding the trains with Firefox 97. Thunderbird ended up with their own fixes that made it to TB 96 and 91.4.1.

(In reply to Anje from comment #203) > there are going to be an increase in Thunderbird users I can't comment on Thunderbird, and recommend you contact the Thunderbird devs through non-bugzilla channels (matrix or email is probably best). I believe that bug 1690395 was reopened and tracks the TB issue. I'm hopeful that the Firefox changes will help TB devs fix this, but TB is different enough that other/more work may be necessary. You should discuss that with the TB folks. > If someone is already working on this, it would be helpful to communicate this I did communicate this, in comment #201, which you quoted and therefore must have read. I don't know why you didn't take my word for it. If you don't trust my bugzilla comments, then no other change I could make to this bug would convince you that work is ongoing, and the issue is with the lack of trust, not with whatever work we are doing. I did not assign someone to this bug or set a release date because the fix for this bug is part of a bigger project. Although we have hopes about which release that change will ship in, we can't promise anything right now - it depends how long it takes to stabilize the changes in question. Downloads are complex and have a lot of edgecases. We're currently testing out these fixes on the Firefox nightly channel. In barely a week, nightly users have already found 10 or so new issues with it which will need addressing. As a result, I also did not (and still do not) want to write down a version or release here, because inevitably that information may get outdated or superseded, and then users will just be more upset. (I have been reluctant to share the other bug links because quite frankly, 200 comments on those bugs is not something that is going to help anyone, either. I've added one now, **please** do not deluge that one with comments instead; it won't help.) > outsider users are being polite in trying to explain how important this bug is Being polite is necessary, but not sufficient reason for commenting on a bug. This is a bug tracker, in which developers track work, and it isn't a user complaints forum. Being asked several times a week "when is this going to be fixed", no matter how politely, only delays a release date for the actual fix. I restricted comments for exactly this reason. We're sorry this hasn't been fixed yet, we know this is important to users, and that is why we are working on it. No further comments stating how important it is or how terrible it is that this hasn't yet been fixed are necessary, nor indeed helpful, at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You mention 'we are actively working on a fix' but to anyone following this bug and at this moment and there are going to be an increase in Thunderbird users, we notice this bug is marked as 'New' and it looks like no one has been assigned to fix it and there is nothing about when a fix is expected as a target. This implies no developer is working on it at this moment and there is no action - whether that is true or not is not the point. That is what is perceived by the lack of documentation. This bug is also where users get information on progress, but are seeing nothing and after 13 years you cannot blame users for wondering what is going on and why this bug still exists. If someone is already working on this, it would be helpful to communicate this and let people know this bug did have someone assigned to work on it and what version the planned fix will be expected for release. There have been comments suggesting no one should ask for a 'please fix' as it may stop developers working on it, but outsider users are being polite in trying to explain how important this bug is when it comes to work throughput for individuals and businesses alike. I would be appalled if developers were actually choosing to deliberately not work on a bug just because there has been so many desperate users wondering why something as important as this bug appears to still be new and no one assigned etc. This issue is a real problem in Thunderbird where opening of a variety of email attachments is extremely common. Emails by their nature are a means of conveying and communicating documention in various formats. This bug has also started to see more recent reports since TB version 91*.

As FF and TB were made similar in terms of the code that is of relevance here, I am not convinced that a separate handling of the two applications is doable. I say this also, as this decision to use common code may be entrenched into the code maintenance too much to be sensible. But this is to decide by the programmers of these applications, not me (I progam other things). Moreover, the user experience is basically the same. There are needs to view attachments and there are true downloads in both applications and from the perspective of the user experience I argue that it makes a lot of sense to treat them in the same manner, i.e. not only common code is less to maintain, but also handling the same user experience in the same way is only beneficial to all when based on a good user model. However, there seems to be no solid user model for how to handle files, i.e. attachments in case of TB and linked files in case of FF. The problem is that the programmers seem not to understand the issues that users of the applications are confronted with and AFAIK there was never a proper treatment of these issues done. E.g. first there is the common problem of the inability of separating the viewing of attachments (TB) or linked files (FF) from actual downloading when a user wishes to keep those files on her system. Admitted, this has little to do with this bug, yet it relates to the same irritating decisions of the programmers what the user experience ought to be when users access attachments (TB) or linked files (FF).

Not sure why all Thunderbird related bug reports are dumped into this Firefox bug. Firefox and Thunderbird have wildly different use case. While "remembering with which app to open certain files" isn't much of an issue for Firefox, it's big issue in Thunderbird when handling lots of email with attachments.

[Bug 1065126]
I am not sure we understand each other well. The first issue is that the download folder is not separate from the folder where FF downloads files such as PDFs to when you want to look at that file within FF. The first folder should be the download folder, which the user can set to her wishes via preference setting. The 2nd folder should be a temporary folder, where FF stores those files the user just wants to look at using the browser and that folder ought to be under any Unix system a temporary folder, e.g. in /private/tmp. As I do not want the 2nd use to clutter up my actual downloads folder, I have set as the FF download folder a temporary foler in /private/tmp. Any true download has then to be retrieved from there manually. That is the first problem with FF, never addressed really, never resolved I believe since 13 years if I am not mistaken. The 2nd problem associated with truly downloading files only is the fact that FF did not honor the checkbox "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." when downloading some file type, e.g. a PDF and chosing some application by which to open it. Checking that checkbox never had an effect and FF continued for years to ignore the users choice. My take on this is that FF should distinguish the two folders used for only looking at a file, e.g. a PDF from within FF, or actually downloading, i.e. truly downloading a file. The 2nd fix would be to either hide a not functioning checkbox or then implement the feature the checkbox is offering. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Never would have thought that could have happened. As many have noted the 'choose file open' item WAS working just fine until sometime last later spring/early summer. Don't see how something that WAS working and then became broke has turned into a 13-year old problem that someone/somewhere says will NOT be fixed. Just how stupid is that?

One can consider the new soft-fork of Thunderbird that is called Betterbird and that client works just fine with these issues fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

They have not decided if this is a bug or not? It worked fine for me in TB 6x.x and TB 7x.x and now is broken in TB 91.0. Thunderbird is not honoring it's own setting. How can this not be a bug?

They simply laid out their view on the current state (well, continuous for years) of this matter, and were honest... There wasn't attacking of people or calling names. I'm sorry you were offended by that. You most likely concur with the sentiment that this part of the application and it remaining as it is for long are both not good... I don't think it's a reasonable expectation that people will just hide it or lie about it while discussing it. A patch submission doesn't preclude accompanying discussion anyway, but I think it's also disingenuous to call it more productive... unfortunately we know that even if patches were offered even years ago, as previously discussed here, it doesn't mean that they would have been used or made a difference in the issue. In the first place this issue isn't one where implementation details are complex, unknown or time consuming to write. It is pretty clear that it is one of those where there just hasn't been a decision by Mozilla to fix it, or to apply the band-aid solution, and that decision is the only thing that is missing (indeed I expect it would take a programmer with experience with contributing to the project a couple of minutes to handle the implementation).

@Tristan Miller: You are right, that may be a better contribution. However, I cannot afford to participate in the development of all software I am using and need to focus on the ones I am really responsible for. And I also believe that programing does not consist of only adding patches, but good design requires familiarity with a software product, and I am lacking all this in the case of Firefox. I think my decision to abstain in this case is the right one. Given all this, I am afraid, my verdict remains: Keeping a bug (and with it many related ones) open for 13 years that confuses every user of Firefox (and AFAIK also Thunderbird) repeatedly since years is IMHO not representative of good programing. P.S.: And I provided very detailed suggestions how to handle downloading, including graphical designs for alerts to the last letter, yet all this was ignored. I am sorry, this did also not invite me to continue to participate in the development.

@ smayer97: Of course fixing this would be much better. But I have given up hope. As you can see this bug is with us since 13 years! The same is the case for numerous bugs related to downloading (not only Firefox also Thunderbird, causing me to totally stop using Thunderbird) .

Programmers of FireFox should finally do something about this. Since years during each download I am offered this checkbox "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." and never, ever is anything done in the way as my checked checkbox would indicate. If this bug, I consider this clearly as a bug, is indeed related to bug 285976, then it would indeed be time to address this. IMHO this gets close to effrontery to offer that checkbox since years and never honoring it in any way, not even with a warning that it will not be respected. Very, very poor programming. The fix suggested in the discussions of bug 285976, i.e. hiding that checkbox, would for me and all other confused users probably be an acceptable alternative to an actual implementation of the handling of the downloads as offered via this checkbox. It is time to act and hide this confusing checkbox I believe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I do not understand why this bug has taken this long to get resolved. At least one scenario is that FF simply opens the dialogue box giving the option to choose what software to open the attachment but the "Do this Automatically for files like this from now on" is selected.

Just in case, adding my vote to... not leave this old bug unfixed. This behavior is clearly incorrect from any end-user perspective. As for security "concerns" here, they really are fluff; it is not the browser's duty to silently block or ignore explicit manual user actions (setting a default program) in order to potentially defend said user from said explicit action... Further down that road lies arbitrarily silently ignoring more user settings as well as attempts to access certain "potentially dangerous" sites or resource types altogether. And the current behavior is not a feature and offers no consistent "protection" anyway, as the misbehavior doesn't occur for other content- dispositions. Worth noting that confusing the end user's expectations with inconsistent behavior actually itself carries the 'potential for accidents' in the end, all the same, perhaps in a less predictable manner. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That addon just replaces the header of "content-disposition: attachment" to "content-disposition: inline". Despite the name "inline", any file types that are not handled by Firefox will be downloaded and opened. And it will actually respect "do this automatically" flag. As you may already see (and mentioned by plenty of people above), this means that if a site really wants to do malicious things (by auto opening certain files), it can do already: just use "content- disposition: inline" as response header. So in my opinion, disallowing "do this automatically" for "content- disposition: attachment" *only* is pointless even from a security perspective. And of course, such addon will have side effect for file-types that can be opened both inline and or as attachment/download (like images that are supposed to be downloaded will now be opened in Firefox). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There's too many proposals and opinions here to be able to make a choice that will satisfy everyone. There are 2 possible ways out, that I see, that are not exclusive: 1. hide the "Remember my choice" checkbox when it can't be respected. While this doesn't solve the problem (it hides it under the carpet), it would be less surprising and infuriating for the user. This is pretty much bug 285976, afaict. I think it'd be a safe thing to do regardless and wouldn't prevent future and better fixes. 2. Just let the user action go through, that is basically what the other browsers are doing (at least Chrome, I just tried through this test page: http://demo.borland.com/testsite/download_testpage.php) . The fact is this solution is a lot more complex and thus will require more time, because someone with a good grasp about the security implications here should make a call. That's not me unfortunately. I don't think we'd be adding a pref, a pref like this is the classical footgun, either this is a security risk or it is not, a pref doesn't solve that and can be easily under-evaluated. I finally wonder if add-ons can work similarly to a pref for user willing this behavior, wouldn't something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition-reloaded/ basically do what most are asking for? If an add-on could replace the request for a pref, it would pretty much solve 2 without exposing everyone to possible risks. I know this is not a finalized answer, but the question was whether this is a wontfix. I don't think it is, it just needs some middle steps and investigation to figure out the actual risk, and why other browsers think that risk is moot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After 11 years - more and more clarity develops on this issue. Please consider USER INTENT as an important aspect in the early design and later - policy implementation of this "feature". Now it is known how important (forced) user security is regarding XSS-type attacks, we have BOTH SIDES of the issue exposed. Seems like, the solution involves a little more programming, not merely "turning off" security concerns. I'm probably typical in my INTENT. I have repetitive tasks where I download CSS files from trusted sources, format them, and archive them. On selection of "do this automatically for files like this from now on" Firefox can throw a (severe) user warning about XSS-type attacks, then offer to allow the recurrent behavior, explicitly for the chosen server, forevermore. User has been WARNED, has actively chosen to do the deed with THIS SERVER ONLY, and has exonerated Firefox while maintaining the personal freedoms we expect using personal computers. Of course, removal of the "user approval for the site" must also be programmed. For examples of WARN but "DO if approved by user" - look no further than Windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1065126]
I'm going to try to summarize the problem here as I see it. Over the last few years, Mozilla has moved in the direction of focusing on security at the cost of some user control. Though to my knowledge no official statement has ever been made acknowledging this, it is apparent through their actions and the tone of some of the things they *have* said. This is not the place to debate that decision, and I do not wish to, but for our purposes it suffices to note that there *is* inherent tension between those two aims. Any power the user is given to alter the behaviour of the browser's interaction with external content, risks creating a security vulnerability. Most users do not have a strong grasp of security theory, and rely heavily on Mozilla's experts to keep them safe. There is an inherent risk in having an external application automatically process *any* kind of file. Many common programs are not designed to handle malicious input, and some that are do a poor job at it. *Glances towards Adobe Acrobat*. It is a sane default to ask the user before proceeding any time there is an elevated risk of bad behaviour. Since it appears from a quick search that a number of server operators use `content-disposition: attachment` on user-uploaded files to reduce the risk of XSS-type attacks, it appears we have such a case. Thus, a credible argument can be made that Firefox *ought* to ignore the user's choice of automatic behaviour in these instances. That other browsers do not react this way does not constrain us. We are not obligated to emulate their design decisions. It has been suggested in comment 90 that people out to do less talking and more patch submitting, but as comment 110 noted, people are reluctant to work on creating a patch when they are uncertain if it has any chance of being accepted due to design choices by the development team. I **strongly** suggest that a Mozilla staff member make an executive decision as to whether this behaviour is in fact a bug to be fixed, and state so in a comment, or else close this as `WONTFIX` and say that a decision has been made to err on the side of security and not let the end user select a default behaviour when a `content-disposition: attachment` exists -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065126 Title: "Always do this from now on" does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1065126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
