There are certain file types that are prevented from being opened from withing Firefox for security reasons. Do you have a link to the file, so we can test?
It isnt a certain file type, it is all files Including word docs, excel spreadsheets, pdf's ect.. I remember Firefox asking me if I wanted to make this my default action when I clicked on a link, and I choose to make it such. I would like to change it back so I can choose whether I open/view the file or save it to my drive.
