i've searched through most options but im also being extremely lazy here so feel free not to respond.

I want an "Open From/As" on any file. I have them auto saving now, but can't find where to allow .exe etc or do i need some kind of addon?

Quote :
"Why doesn't Mozilla allow me to run an .exe (executable file) directly from an Internet location?

This is a security precaution to help avoid malicious software getting onto your system or network. Not allowing a program to run directly from an Internet location allows you to make sure that what you are running is indeed what it seems, and to scan the file with anti-virus software if necessary.

Other files (documents) can still be launched directly from Mozilla."

Right, i know exe is hardcoded (there used to be a patch to get around it) but .rar/.zip/msi fuck that
