##### [Description:] On Windows, when adding the .exe extension with "Always Open" it will trigger executing the executable. ##### [Environment:] 97.0b8 98.0a1 2022-01-26 ##### [Steps:] 1. New profile. 2. Load https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/96.0.1-candidates/build1/win64/en-US/ 3. Click on an .exe 4. After download is complete, right click in the Download Pannel and set "Always Open Similar Files" 5. Click again on an .exe from the https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/96.0.1-candidates/build1/win64/en-US/ ##### [Actual Result:] Exe file is added to the Applications with always ask, but it behaves as auto-open. "Always Open Similar files" remains checked for the .exe filetype. ##### [Expected Result:] I don't believe we should let .exe files autoexecute on Windows ##### [Note:] The behavior of the added action in Applications for the .exe is similar ##### [Note:] The icon for the "always ask" that is added on "Always Open .. " is an action icon, not the "always ask" icon - subject we are touching on in bug 1740841 and also in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1742693#c7
