- Rated 2 out of 5by piecevcake, 6 years agoWorks for PDF, jpg/png files not recognised by ff because of some misdescription of the link in the web site.
DOES NOT OPEN csv, doc* or xls* files- the dialog opens, server sent MIME and MIME from file extension both just open FF open with external editor dialog! Text, html , web open gobbledegook.
Marked down for wasting half a day figuring this out trying to figure out the teeny "other" dropdown menu which shows the beginning of lines (in the empty dialog spanning 2 monitors+) then snaps shut when you even try to screenshot it (hint-zoom page to max shows more of the lines width). If your addon doesn't do something, TELL US. If it does, instructions? or better still can dev set it up properly please (cf docs online viewer addon which DOES preview office docs in the browser when clicked.)
Dialog really does disappear if you tick "do this automatically" box. To restore dialog, Tools>open in browser>prefs, click "default" for the filetype.
Click "open in firefox" option to access "open with external app" dialog or open html link in ff.
Dialog expands wider than 3 monitors. notified dev, not fixed after a year. 6/6/2020. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13836051, 6 years agoI give it 5 ***** as soon as this can be fixed: https://github.com/dimyme/djvujs/wiki/associate-.djvu-filetype

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10287291, 6 years agoUseful for dealing with resources where the server sends an incorrect mime-type.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ebrown2112, 6 years agoRecently, for some reason, when I tried opening images in a new tab a Save prompt was displayed instead. This extension fixed the problem.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Mike Hicks, 7 years agoThis is one of my favorite extensions for Firefox, but it's having some problems with Firefox 57.0. It seems to behave badly on some pages that redirect you at load time (unfortunately, my best example so far is a company-internal page which I can't share). I'm also getting prompted twice now when downloading things -- once to present the traditional "Open with..."/"Open in browser as"/"Save File" dialog, and then again with another "Open with..." / "Save File" dialog.

posted 7 years agoAbout the double prompting: See the add-on's description for instructions to configure Firefox to only have one prompt.
I don't understand the first thing that you are reporting (" It seems to behave badly on some pages that redirect you at load time"). Can you share more details (preferably in a Github issue or by e-mail)? - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13516392, 7 years ago
