Having to respond to an "Open executable file?" prompt every time we download a JNLP file from our CMS is highly annoying. We have been working with these files for years and know they are OK for us to access. We should be able to bypass this message permanently. Please create a way for us to do this ASAP or we'll have to ask our CMS users not to update to version 67.

It would be better for you to file a bug on Bugzilla.

It looks that another (hidden from about:config) pref got created to suppress the warning.
