Why my Firefox 15.0.1 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file?
I need to use oracle web software to export .csv file, and when I click on the button , it will open the csv file on another window instead of downloading it. I had tried to hold down ALT key then left click the button, it just highlighted the button. So, the only way I can do is to right click the button and choose save from the link. So, How can I have the options to choose from save or open? Is this a bug for Firebox?

The action that Firefox takes when you download a CSV file depends on the MIMEtype and content disposition set by the web server.
In a nutshell, if Firefox sees the .csv file as text/plain, which it handles internally, ,Firefox will open the file and display the content (unless the server sends it with "Content-Disposition: attachment", in which case you will be asked what to do). If Firefox sees it as "application/csv" or "text/csv" it will take a different action depending on what you may have set in your Applications Options or it my ask you what to do with the file.
