User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Right now if I add a new helper app, and set the mime type for a document to be controlled with that app, Mozilla will save the file to my Mozilla downloads directory, and then open the file in the helper app. This gives me two copies of the file, the one "downloaded" and the original one on my local drive. What would be nice is if there was an option to not re-save local files already on ones hard drive back to disk again, and instead just open the file up from where it is on the local drive into the disired helper application. I know this would help me, as I would like to use Mozilla as an interface to opening certain files on my computer, acting as a pseudo Mac Finder or Windows Explorer. Currently this doesn't work because of what I described above. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a helper app for a certain file type. 2. Create an HTML page w/ a link to a local file of that type. 3. Click on the link in Mozilla. 4. Look in your downloads directory. Actual Results: The file opens in the helper app, but is using the "downloaded" version it saved to your download directory, not the local file. Expected Results: When clicking on the link to the local file it should have opened that file in the helper app associated with it, and not downloaded a copy to your downloads directory. (this assumes you have an option somewhere turned on that says you actually want it to behave this way)
