6 months ago The auto-downloading behavior for magnet links is not terribly reliable, unfortunately. Did it used to work on the specific site you're using?
A lot of things need to be true at the same time for it to work (it needs to be enabled, you need to left-click it, and it needs to be an <a> element with an href attribute using the magnet protocol), since there's no browser-supported way for extensions to handle opening links:
When it's working, you shouldn't get that popup asking at all. Make sure the setting is enabled (English name: "handle opening downloadable link types"). I don't think anything has changed in Firefox, so I would guess something changed about the site you're using. You can also check in Chrome to see if it works there.

bonjour, j'utilise cette extension sur firefox depuis longtemps et elle me convient très bien ; enfin, jusqu'à hier ! je ne sais pas pourquoi, lorsque maintenant je clique sur un fichier .magnet, firefox me demande avec quelle application je désire ouvrir ce fichier ; j'ai bien essayé d'entrer le chemin de Firefox.exe, mais il ne se passe rien ; j'ai désinstallé et ré-installé l'extension NAS Download Manager, toujours pareil ; est-ce un problème de Firefox, de l'extension, autre ? merci d'avance de vos bons conseils
