Sorry, my typo! 52.1.1 32-bit ESR is the version I am on. I have also changed the subject (sorry).
Thanks for the pointer. I will try to give mozregression a shake soon to see when we lost this. A little more info on the issue: The file is being accessed through a file:// link on the local intranet network. The file is plain readable text, but actually is a type of CAD file that needs to be handled by a specific program. Creating a simple html file on my desktop with [a href="file://///Server/share/path/to/file.stp"] file.stp [/a] in it will display the text in the browser on 52.1.1 ESR but will appropriately handle it (based on the 'Applications' preference) in 45.9 ESR. Using a brand new profile in 52.1 will not even ask how to handle the file, it will just open it directly in the browser and display the text.
