I have a problem with the function of mozilla firefox to open certain files with a chosen by me program. For example i have a word documents that i want firefox not to ask what to do and open them with word and i do this setting to do that. But no matter how i make that setting it always asks me what to do with .doc files. And that problem is with all files no matter what. I managed to make one page (unknowingly how) to start open certain files with a program of my choosing without asking me but that is only on one page. On other it still asks me!

Tools | Options | Applications and change the "Action" type for the files you want Firefox to open for you. See Applications and Manage file types and download actions in Firefox
