When I try to open a file from a particular site, a .csv file, Firefox seems to think it's a txt file, as seen in the attached image. When I save the file it downloads fine as a .csv, as it should. Why is it that this .csv is seen as a .txt only when selecting "open" but not "save" and how can I fix this? Thank you.

This usually happens if the server isn't configured properly and sends the file as a text file.

You can check the HTTP response headers in the Web Console or in the Browser Console.
