Hi,

I just installed Firefox 2 Rc for testing.

When I try to donwload file for same locations (like Gmail attachments)
the firefox just show a 'force' Save Dialog instead of the habitual
Open/Save one for some file types.

For example: For .pps files he shows Open/Save dialog, but for .ppt
files he show a dialog only have the "Save as" and "Cancel" buttons.

I check the file handling of the systems it was the same for the both
extensions.

The problem occurs on Linux (Ubuntu 6.06), Windows (2k, XP, 2k3, Vista
- yes, I test the handling in all this systems :) ). So I think this is
a Firefox thing.

I trying to find something about it in about:config page, but I have no
success.

Someone have the same annoying behavior? Someone knows how to change
this behavior?

Thank all for share knowledgement with me.
