i have fire fox set to ask me where i want documents to be sent. most of the time i have it set to send to my documents. but for the past 3 months every time i down load photos or any document sent to me from my yahoo email address they go to downloads as a compressed zip file that has to be opened by windows media player. when i click on it of course windows media says it can open the file. yahoo says it fire fox that is the problem , but fire fox doesnt do this with any thing but my yahoo mail. at any rate i would like it fixed or i dump ff and yahoo. 

sorry but im sick of  both parties.
