It's not test/csv, it should be text/csv instead.

If this is not working, the file might have a different mime type, try the following:

fp.set_preference('browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk', "text/plain, application/vnd.ms-excel, text/csv, text/comma-separated-values, application/octet-stream")
