Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Save a document (.doc) to a NTFS drive or a remote SAMBA share.
  2. The file now has the executable bit set (no way to remove it)
  3. Try to open it by clicking on it (or right-click->Open) in "Saved Files"

Actual results:

thunderbird asks to execute the file. Only options are OK or Cancel

Expected results:

Thunderbird uses the MIME type or the extensions to open the file in the default assigned application and ignores the executable bit.

Or it offers 3 options "Execute", "Open with...", "Cancel"

Severity: normal → S3

Still broken in 102.15

Version: 68 → Thunderbird 102
