I am downloading a lot of pdfs and open them with Acrobat 9. Although the checkmark is set at "always perform this action" and also the preference is set in options to do it automatically, the program doesn't stop to ask how it should proceed with the download. (Which does not happen if I set the mark to "save the file" 

Reproducible: Always

We need an example URL. The server can send a header (content-disposition:attachment) and Firefox is in that case obliged to ask everytime.
The problem is solved
