Just recently, when trying to view an attachment in GMAIL email, I have noticed that I must now download the attachment to view it. Sometimes I do not want to download the attachment. Can I change the setting? This is a recent change and I am trying to pinpoint if it is a browser setting or a GMAIL setting. Thank you!

  • 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.
