After downloading a open office document from a server I always get the question to open or to save it. I checked to open the file after downloading it to a tempory map. After downloading another open office document I always get the same question even when I checked "Do this automatically for files like this from now ". Is there a possibility to get rid of the question?

Cor-el Tx for the reply but no answer found in the article.

"Once you have made a selection, checking the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." will cause the file type and action to be displayed in the Applications tab as shown below (in this example the selected application is TextEdit)." FF works like described in the quote but nothing about immediately opening the file with the specified program. I've tested several possibilities but I always get the question what to do before opening the file. The "automatically"-option doesn't work for open office.

Any other suggestions?
