Is it possible to download a file without saving?

Could you try copying your old mimeTypes. You can open your new profile folder quickly using:. Regarding the prefs. I think mine suggests whatever I did last for the same type of content, but I haven't paid close attention. I'm out of time to address the problem with "do this automatically" but there is one suggestion for why it could be grayed out in this article: Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file. Is it possible you had a download-related extension before?

To compare settings and extensions, please retain the Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. Aside from checking the extensions in there, it would be interesting to run a text file comparison on your currently active prefs.

This is where I set the download folder location. I believe it suggests that the option might be greyed out because of the website I'm downloading the file from incorrectly the filetype.

Would love it if the new Edge would keep this from the old edge, would make our lives easier.. Anyone have any insight or ideas, would be greatly appreciated.
