Why does Firefox not give me an option to save a document before opening it from Google?

When Google lists sites in response to my search phrases I see pdf or doc files that I know I want. Firefox does not offer me the option of downloading them immediately to a chosen folder. I have to first open them on screen and then save them. This is hugely time consuming.

go to TOOLS then OPTIONS then GENERAL then in DOWNLOADS session click SAVE FILES TO and browse the folder you want to download. Click OK to save changes. Exit firefox and restart-it.
