Ever since I switched to Firefox from my google chrome it doesn't automatically open my torrent client. 'qtorrent' Even when I select do this automatically for now on. I went into options even to change it manually there, behavior is the same.

Chrome doesn't work with downloading torrents. Mine is quite the opposite of what your saying. Chrome attempts to save .tor.mkv as a file instead of passing it to the torrent program to start. So unless you changed something in your FF config it's sounds more like corrupted FF.

Fresh install of Windows 10, fresh install of Firefox. Though this issue was before I did the fresh install (1 week ago) of windows 10. Only change I made towards the handling of torrents is in the screen shot.

Maybe clicking on ask where to save and then try again. Cause I have that optioned chosen instead of letting it do it. And as you can see in my save as nothing was changed except the location option.
