the download section of this website http://www.welcometotehscene.com/ when a
torrent link is clicked on instead of downloading it in the background, firefox
bugs me about it, even though it shows the check box already checked for
downloading automatically.
This appears to only happen when a link to a file is is actually a link to a
script that then provides the file.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set .torrent files to be downloaded automatically
2. go to the website listed and click a torrent link
http://tehscene.pjeer.com/download.shtml
3.
Actual Results:
firefox will still prompt you for what to do.
Expected Results:
should have downloaded in the background silently

This happens because the site uses Content-Disposition: attachment. (I saw this
when I copied URL from download manager and used wget -S.)
I have to agree that Firefox's UI in this case is a bit wonky. For one, a
content-disposition of attachment probably shouldn't override the user's
"always..." choice if the user's choice was "Save".
