The .exe files don't have the option to auto save to the download folder. How can I make .exe files to save without asking? Other extensions are supported and can be configured.

All i want is to add the .exe extension to the list in the screenshot. All the other file extensions gave me the option to let that file type to be automatically downloaded without the pop-up window and was also added to the list so I can manage them. All except the .exe files which give me a pop-up without the option to allow auto download.

Not possible.

Hi, no it is a Security function to ask your permission to save. All files should download to the folder you have specified as default.

If you are getting something else please explain fully and provide a screen shot https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots
