I can't download videos on Firefox, or any other browser I try to use.

Usually I can use a website like videograbby.com or keepvid.com to download videos. I click download and a smaller window pops up to ask if I want to save the file. Today Firefox and Google chrome are not letting me do this. Instead when I click to download it immediately does a video playback in the window. I've tried to "Refresh Firefox" and even explored settings in "about:config" and the download section....nothing. Any other tips out there?

This is the page it sends it to.....instead of downloading the file.
