If you have Safari installed it is causing this problem!!! The problem is NOT with Firefox!! It is with Safari!!! Stupid stupid Safari. But thinking logically, if you were having problems with files automatically opening after being downloaded using a browser, you’d think the problem would be with the browser, right? I should have remembered that this had never ever happened before in all the ten years I have been using Firefox. I assumed the issue was with the browser I was using, so, naturally, I was looking for a solution in the Firefox preferences. Now, I do NOT like my computer to open things without me asking it to. Whenever I downloaded a file, regardless of type – pdf, mp4, png or whatever, it would open automatically. And then I downloaded a couple of pdfs using Firefox and they opened themselves automatically. So, I had my Macbook Pro back all fixed and such and I installed Firefox and everything was working fine. Don’t ever use a browser that does things like this by default.
So I thought I’d write a quick post about this as it was a problem when I installed Firefox on my new system.
