SP 52191: Enable “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” in Firefox

Symptom: When opening files in Firefox and you enable the “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” option in the Firefox “Opening” dialog, the enabled option does not get saved in the Firefox settings. The next time that your browser attempts to open a file of the same type, you will once again be prompted to select an action in the Firefox “Opening” dialog.
Resolution: This change will modify file permissions in the Firefox “Profiles” directory to enable the “Do this automatically for files like this from now on” option in Firefox.
Additional Information: For this change to take effect, you must twice consecutively start and exit Firefox.
