Quicken does not auto-Import - Firefox download of QFX file

WD Terry

All worked fine in March - select 'download to Quicken' on my bank web page, and Quicken responds and receives the file. Now - I get a 'download' link for the file and have to 'import' it to Quicken. This has occurred as of the last update of Quicken.
Why ?

Alterna Savings I select 'account activity'. I prepares a qfx file when I select 'download to Quicken'. Quicken is running in the background at the time. Instead of Quicken activating to accept the download, I get a 'save file as' instead. If I download the file and 'import' it to Quicken, it acts normally.

What browser do you use?
Recently there was a change in Firefox which now causes this. To make QFX files downloaded with Firefox automatically import into Quicken you need to go into Firefox Tools / Settings / General. Scroll down to Applications and look for the "Quicken OFX data" item. Change it to "Use Quicken Windows".
You may have to review this area for other file types which you download with Firefox and correct their settings, as needed.
If you use a different browser: Check this browser's settings and review the actions to be taken for downloaded files.

THank you. I use Firefox 99.0, and that file association was set to 'ask file location'. I haven't tested it, but the 'fix' seems logical. Much appreciated. Wayne.
