opening files without download
Currently I am using Firefox 99.0.1. When I am in my mailbox and open a received file, firefox asks me what to do, I give the command to open it, and it open and at the same time is automatically downloaded in the download folder. I changed different setting to avoid downloading, with no result. Then I installed an older version 82.0.3. and this problem does not exist there. So please help me to change the settings of the newer firefox 99.0.1 to open files without downloading them Thanks,Josef Petrov

- Firefox no longer asks what to do for each file by default
- Downloads panel automatically opens
- Downloaded files are saved to disk
- Set a default app to open a file type
- "Always Open Similar Files" option from the Downloads panel
- Frequently asked questions
You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to prevent opening the
download panel on each download.
- browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
You can't stop downloading except perhaps temporarily. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1370494
There are ways to change the download destination.
