Securing Firefox: How to avoid hacker attacks on Mozilla's browser
Downloading files
Firefox's Downloads tab offers the option to change actions taken when files are downloading.
Any time a file type is configured to open automatically with an associated application, this can make the browser more dangerous to use. Vulnerabilities in these associated applications can be exploited more easily when they are configured to open automatically.
Click the View & Edit Actions button to view the current download settings and modify them if necessary.
