Can't set action for application when downloading
Hello,
I want to set the handling of DLC-files during download to a default application. Firefox should pass the downloaded dlc-files directly to the default application without any questions.
In the download dialog I miss the checkbox to set the application as default.
How could this be done?
Greetings
Stefan

search applications in about:preferences and try adjusting VLC files there.
It is possible that the server sends the file as a generic file type like "application/octet-stream". Firefox will only offer to create a download action when the server sends the file with the correct MIME type for this file extension.

Hello cor-el,
I installed the addon and you are right the server sends the data as an application/octect-stream.
I added an override and the addon shows in the log
C-T: Updated CT header from "application/octet-stream" to "application/x-dlcfile"
It seems that the addon changes the content-type since the checkbox in the download dialog is there now. I set it but and check in about:preferences that mipony is the default programm for the mime type but the dialog still pops up every time.
Any further ideas?
Greetings
Stefan
