firefox: Disable delay on download dialog buttons

By Emma Terry

How to minimize the delay between opening a download dialog and being able to hit the ok button?

It's useful if you know what you're doing (e.g. being web developer). Is there any way to do this?

1 Answer

Go to about:config (type into address bar) and set security.dialog_enable_delay setting to 0.

Note: disabling this delay may in theory open you to some pretty non-standard security attacks described in this article (as Otiel pointed out), but I wouldn't lose sleep about it.
