(the download manager will just make another copy on the hard-drive of a file that may already be on the hard drive.) Rather, the post-download window should show up with how the user wishes to run the file, and then execute that program with reference to the file location. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file called example.html with a link: <A HREF="ding.wav">Example</a>; and save it in a directory on your computer. 2. Make a wav file and rename it to ding.wav and place it in the same directory as example.html 3. Open example.html in mozilla, and click the hyperlink Actual Results: It asks you what you want to open the file in, (and then proceeds to download a temporary copy of the file somewher) Expected Results: Should asks you what you want to open the file in, and then IMMEDIATELY open the file from that location in the program specified WITHOUT DOWNLOADING THE FILE.
