Safari does the same thing. I think FF is the only browser that still defaults to asking you what you want to do when you click on a download link.

- mschuster91 11y agoWell Chrome all day long tells me "foo.exe might be an unusual download" and with every version they make it harder to bypass that (also sites with misconfigured HTTPS, broken cipher suites and other crap which is perfectly fine in a internal environment). But then it allows silent DLL dropping... jeez.
- aftbit 11y agoBest tip I've learned in the past month: when you're at one of those unskippable TLS error warnings in Chrome/Chromium, just type "danger" on your keyboard. Example: https://subdomain.preloaded-hsts.badssl.com/ https://subdomain.preloaded-hsts.badssl.com/
- janfoeh 11y agoInteresting. I'm on 48 (beta) / OS X and can't get this to work, though.
- mschuster91 11y agoToo bad one can't donate karma here. You deserve a boatload.
- annnnd 11y agoGreat! Got one for FF too? :)
- aftbit 11y agoSadly, no. I read the FF source code and couldn't find anything, although I'm far from an expert in that code base, so it might be hiding somewhere.
- draw_down 11y agoI think you're right, though I find FF's interface for that particularly inelegant. In the case of Safari, I'm not sure what downloading a DLL would hurt on a Mac anyway, and an actual executable file would be quarantined.
