How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?
Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

You should be able to see recent downloads if you click the Download toolbar button (looks like a arrow down) on the Navigation Toolbar. You can right-click an entry to get more choices including open and open containing folder.

Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps: 1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder 2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow 3. Clicking on the downloaded file
What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file automatically. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder and opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?
