How do I set firefox to open an app without asking the user?
I have a server application that posts a custom mime file of type "application / x-optibase".
Firefox will prompt the user to save or open the file and if the user clicks on open the correct launch applications, so I believe the mimeType.rdf is configured correctly
I told: config and set
browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile for app / x -optibase
and
browser.helpApps.alwaysAsk.force - false
According to minimal documentation, this should allow the app to automatically open when the user uploads the file, but it doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thank.
These settings are no longer covered with Firefox 3. You must have the correct mimeTypes.rdf file setting. Specifically, for your mime type, you want to set NC: alwaysAsk to false. See this page for details .
