I am using Paylocity and when I run a report, it saves as a text file instead of Excel. My Options say to open text files in Excel. The funny thing is that my support staff can open the file created just fine on their machines, so it must be something in my firefox settings. Any ideas?

As a workaround try renaming the files with a .csv ending instead of a .txt

Dot.csv files are merely text files with fields separated by commas. Windows programs tend to identify file types by looking at the file endings.
