This is v1 of the Firefox plugin. This plugin is made for Firefox 1.5-3.0 and is meant to directly download the infopathxml files and open it in the associated application (InfoPath for Windows). In the future versions will create an options window to make it possible for any file to be downloaded and opened in the associated application.

If you wish to change it for another file format now, you have to change the global constant (fileExtension) to your extension choice. You can unzip the xpi file and view the code and contents.

Note: As of now, this plugin is minimalistic and uses very small memory. Does not capture infopathxml's coming from javascripts to avoid any security issues or some other server side code giving some random file.

The extension doesn't seem to be working for FF2 or FF3 for me. :-/ I tried downloading from the patient dashboard forms tab. I have the box checked for "do this next time" and chose "open". Infopath is saved in FF's options for ".infopathxml" extensions.

Is there a firefox property I need to add? I only see the property extensions.directfileopener.firstInstallation in about:config .
