For some reason, the ongoing downloads window has begun to open certain video and audio files when the download is complete.

Firefox Click on the 3 horizontal lines in the top right of your Firefox window. Select options. Under General, scroll down to the category Applications. Find the file type you want to change the action on, then select the action from a drop-down menu on the right.
