With the new version (99) I can no longer automatically launch my Revue by Bluebeam application and instead forces me to download the link, which I can then click on to launch the Revue application. There is no choice in settings for the BFX extension to automatically launch my Bluebeam Revue application. The result is my computer is filling up with downloaded links for Bluebeam, which I then have to go in and delete on a continual basis. I do not have that problem in chrome, which someone said is why you guys made the change to switch from automatic launching like chrome did, however I do not have that problem in Chrome. What a shame I have to keep two different browsers

You may be able to add the desired action using the procedure outlined in the link below. The files will still be downloaded as well. There are ways to change the download destination. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#w_adding-download-actions

Wow, thought that was the solution, but discovered the "always open similar files" is not available for this file type, but does appear for other file types

Note that the proposed solution is a temporary fix only.
