From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 BuildID: 2002052918 If I try to open a .txt.gz file, Mozilla open a window named "Downloading <filename>" with "Open ..." and "Save ..." buttons. As I only want to look at this file, which is a gzip text file, I use the "Advanced ..." feature and choose "Handled by Application". I described several application; the last one was : "/usr/bin/X11/xterm -e /bin/zcat %f | /usr/bin/less". The effect is always the same : the file is stored in my "/tmp" directory. Notice : Netscape 4.73 allow me to read such a file Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open a directory containing .txt.gz files 2.double-click on one of these files 3.the problem is described above Actual Results: The selected file is not displayed but stored locally in the "/tmp" directory. Expected Results: The content of the file may be displayed
