Why doesn't the download popup window do what I tell it to?
In most cases when I download files, I want the popup window to ask me how to handle them - and it does. However, I have a subscription to the NYTimes crossword puzzles. For this type of file only, when I click on a file I want to open it immediately.
The popup window knows how to open these files: it says
You have chosen to open .... What should Firefox do with this file? Open with _Across Lite_ Save File Do this automatically for files like this from now on (This option is checked, but I get the popup window anyway. Does automatically mean something different for you than it does for me?)

The server could be sending the Content-Disposition: attachment header. Install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if makes a difference.
If that doesn't help, the server could be sending the Content-Type: application/octet-stream header.
- What is the file extension for the crossword puzzles that you download?
- Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Developer, then Web Console (or press Ctrl+Shift+K).
- Load the web page with the file download link.
- Click the Clear button in the Web Console.
- Click the download link.
- In the Web Console, click the file request in question to examine it. In the little window that pops up, in the Response Headers section, what is the Content-Type header? It would be helpful if you'd provide a screenshot.
