When I click on a link to a file (pdf, jpg, csv, etc...) I have to save it first and then open the download from the downward arrow key on my toolbar. How do I stop this so the file opens automatically?

You can only open a file with a specific application if the file is send by the server with a content stpye that the application supports. This is usually not the case for files that are meant to be downloaded.


Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
