I recently switched my financial work from Safari to Firefox because I am still on Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and, according to a recent web article, Firefox will provide better security than Safari, now that Apple has quit security updates.

When I drill down to this particular bank's link to view the estatement, the Launch Application box shows up. I tried Preview and Firefox. Preview does nothing and Firefox crashed.

I do not have this problem with another bank. I normally do not download estatements.

How can I avoid this nuisance (I went back to Safari to view this estatement).

Thank you.

Hi athawwind, What happens in the preview? is it blank when you open it?

If the preview is blank then the download did not download properly, you can turn on the feature to scan the download when it is done to make sure.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter.
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, this will then bring up a list of preferences.
  3. In the filter box type scan
  4. Double-click on the
  5. browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
  6. preference to change its value to false

This issue is resolved for me; I no longer get Firefox's Application Launch window.

I set the Application Preference for "Portable document (PDF) to "Preview in Firefox". This works nicely for most of my estatements: a statement display without a download. Oddly, one estatement from a particular bank causes "What should Firefox do with this file?" The choices are to "save file" or "preview with default". A download happens in either case. (After printing the file I move it to Trash and do a Secure Empty Trash.) Finally, a particular quarterly estatement does not download and displays in a new window, which I presume is under the financial institution's site control. So, out of 6 various bank estatements, only one seems to require a download.
