Everytime I click on a file that I want to view, Firefox is trying to automatically save the file instead of asking me if I want to save it or open it ... how do I make it to where Firefox asks me everytime if I want to open or save the file?

Hi jhayles,

Have you looked checked in Tools > Options > Applications to see if you have told Firefox to always save the file? You should take a look at the Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files Knowledge Base article for details.

If you set Firefox to always ask and it doesn't, you may want to check out the How to fix preferences that won't save article.

Hopefully this helps!
