Did you re-start Mozilla after un-checking the Show Downloads window when downloading a file? Could you provide your picture of General Tab in the Mozilla Tools -> Options?

Thanks, Borian

Do you need to press any keys to initiate such a barcode insert or does that happen automatically if you scan some barcode?

1. Did you re-start Mozilla after un-checking the Show Downloads window ?--> Sure 100%!!

2. Do you need to press any keys to initiate such a barcode insert -------> No

3. does that happen automatically if you scan some barcode?


> YES (in firefox only not in IE or other browser)

Downloads windows apears automatically when I scan any barcode. It is happening although all the options is switched off.

My Barcode scanner is very simple, just focus on a barcode' it scan and delever text ouput in any applications like a key board.

Can you add a specific content type for that file to make Firefox recognize it as such?

What is the current content type of that file?

If Firefox gives a download dialog then that suggests that Firefox doesn't recognize that file.
