Description

When I download any file, I'm given the option to "open, save as, save".

At this point, I can see the file in downloads folder, with .crdownload extention (ie dev_sample_txt_file_10kb.txt.crdownload
If I click open, nothing happens. and the crdownload file is also deleted from the downloads folder.

If I click save, then open, it works.
If I click save as, then open, it works as well.

However, this breaks my workflow with Citrix Receiver for example. ie the Citrix Storefront downloads an ica file, and this file is then opened by Citrix Receiver client on the system. This is not working as clicking "open" does nothing.

this also blocks the function of "always open files of this type"
