Yeah, except you CAN’T click the damn “do this automatically” button – and its always the fault of the websites never the morons who program this crap browser.

Except this doesn’t work for about 99% of the files types out there, and they don’t seem interested in fixing it…

Yes, I agree with cchris D. Firefox does NOT handle files automatically no matter HOW MANY TIMES you tell it to. This is an OLD bug, which STILL isn’t fixed as of a year later… in Firefox 3. I’m VERY disappointed and I’m wondering who is this dummy who wrote this article without doing ANY research whatsoever. EVERYONE has this same problem with FF and no one appears to care enough to fix it. Unreal…

Most people have the opposite problem. Setting the “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” is supposed to automate actions without prompting with a dialog box but it still pops up on many files types with the box already clicked. Its an old bug thats never gotten fixed and likely never will.
