Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Mozilla has the ability to be told to open a certain URL, if the OS is configured.
Yes, Mozilla can be told to open a URL. But it can't be told to save a given URL without interfering the User with a dialog whether to open or to save the file. For HTML files (and others) this doesn't work at all.
