In the second case the file will be downloaded into a temporary directory and then the helper program will be started. When I want to open the URL with a program (without downloading the file) I have to right-click on the link, select "Copy Link Location", open a console window, type the name of the program and paste the URL. There should be a possibility to pass the URL directly to the helper program. I could think of a third radio button: "Pass location to: ". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Click on a link that does not contain a hypertext document or plain text. Actual Results: A window lets me choose: What should Firefox do with this file? ( ) Open with ... ( ) Save to Disk [ ] Do this automatically for files like this from now on. Expected Results: A window which lets me choose: What should Firefox do with this file? ( ) Open with ... ( ) Pass location to ... ( ) Save to Disk [ ] Do this automatically for files like this from now on.
