I read in Google about browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone option, but i can't find one in version 34.0.5. It is no longer available?

EDIT: OK. Is there another way to say Firefox not to scan files?

What is the real name of the add-on?

Open its options page. The setting should be around somewhere.

Sorry, the preference browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone is gone from Firefox for quite a few versions now.
