Downloading census data from http://censtats.census.gov/cgi-bin/bldgprmt/bldgdisp.pl comes across in Explorer directly into Excel with all columns intact. When we use Firefox 3.6.8 it comes across as an old style csv, with "" and commas separating columnar data. How do we get Firefox to import csv into Excel spreadsheet so it doesn't have to be manipulated?
