Starting today when I want to open or download a PDF or MP3 file the dialog box that usually pops up in the right-hand corner of the browser window is no longer appearing. Now it is taking me to a "enter to save as" page. How do I bring back the dialog box?

HI, If you are getting this problem , i think you are using old version of Firefox ,just update it through latest version of Firefox 24.0 , it has great browsing speed with new features. May be helpful,for you.

I'm not sure that I understand which page or dialog you get.

Firefox can handle both PDF and MP3 files internally. PDF files with the built-in PDF Viewer and MP3 files via the built-in HTML5 media player.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
