when i change the action in the application section for a .doc file (ie open with... or save) it works. But if i try same for a .txt file it just opens the file and wont auto save it like a doc or rtxt file. Using FF 13.0.1. Windows 7.

If you set the Boolean pref browser.altClickSave to true on the about:config page then you can force a download if you hold down the Alt key and left-click the link.

Hi,

One way you could try is to right-click the link and Save Link as.

Thank you for the suggestion. That does work, but would be nice to just click once and have it go to the download file, as I can do with a .doc or .rtxt file.

It could be because Firefox has the ability to render text files internally like with HTML. You can try Force Content-Type and obscure the content type, so that it is downloadable.

Force Content Type did not seem to work for me. I might have not configured it correctly.

The problem with using Force Content Type is that for every file whose content-type you want to change, you have to specify the path to that file first. It is easier just to right-click the link and choose save.

The right click does work by pushing right click and then save for .txt files.

 It would be more convenient when downloading 30 or so linked txt documents to just press once on each link, which I can do if it is a doc or rtf document. 
And what would be even better would be to highlight the whole list of links at once!  Haven't found anything to do that.

Text files are usually send by the server as text/plain and that causes them to get displayed in a browser tab instead of offering to download the file.
You will have to use "Save Link as" in the right-click context menu or use the above mentioned method with holding down the Alt key and left-click.

Thank you cor-el. That worked!
