Hello,

Clicking on "pps" file url in Firefox. I don't get the standard dialog box:

----------------------------------------

What should Firefox do with this file?

[] Open with [application (default)]

[] Save to Disk

[] Do this automatically for files like this from now on.

Now when I click on an "pps" file url, the dialog box: 
enter the name of file to save to.......

How can I get the dialog box back so I can choose:
 
[] Open with [application (default)]


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clicking on "pps" file url
2.I don't get the standard dialog box: What should Firefox do with this file?
3.

Actual Results:  
Now when I click on an "pps" file url, the dialog box: 
enter the name of file to save to.......


Expected Results:  
I won to have the option to choose:
[] Open with [application (default)]
[] Save to Disk
[] Do this automatically for files like this from now on. 
when i click to download "pps" 

I update Mozilla Firefox Whit Firefox 3.6

You failed to provide an example URL.
Which mime-type does your server send for the file ?

And you didn't select "save file" as action in the options for this file type ?

We need the headers that the server sends for the file (content-type) and you didn't answer the question if you selected in the Firefox options that one content-type should be saved instead of asking.

I have resolved my problem.
Under: Tools/Options/Applications and at Content Type Found 
"Microsoft Power Point(pps)".
Thanks a lot.
