I am using Linux Mint with Firefox 127.0.2 (64-Bit)

In Preferences Applications, setting 

 CSV-Dokument      to    open with firefox

opens edless new firefox Tabs - so I had to kill firefox. (setting CSV-Dokument to open with OpenOffice works fine. But this is not what I want.)

In Preferences Applications, I found further CSV types: application/csv-Typ CSV Document (application/text) CSV Document (octet/stream) CSV Document (application/x-download) Which applications should I use for them ?

I found the file "mimeTypes.rdf". However, I am not familiar with the syntax.

thanks for the workaround using th prefix view-source: However, it's still pretty circuitous for me.

Is there no straight forward way using the firefox preferences or the file handlers.json ?

If you open the CSV file via the address bar then you can prefix with the view-source: protocol.

If the file is downloaded from internet then maybe an extension helps.

Firefox can't handle this file format (file extension), that is why you get tab opening repeatedly when you try this. You can use view-source to override this and show the file as plain text, otherwise you need to rename the file and add a .txt file extension.

thanks for the explanation!

would it make sense to file an enhancement request, or have there already been plenty of internal discussions regarding this text file topic? I do like using firefox also as an (addl.) file browser.
