Bug 17502: Add a pref hiding the "Open with" option

If browser.download.forbid_open_with is set to true (default: false) the download dialog will not ever show the "Open with" option for opening the file with an external application; only the "Save" and "Cancel" options will be available.

This is very useful to enable when the browser is sandboxed (e.g. via AppArmor) in such a way that it is forbidden to run external applications, since users then are not presented with this choice which will not work and only cause confusion. --- browser/app/profile/firefox.js | 1 + toolkit/mozapps/downloads/nsHelperAppDlg.js | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
