When I click on a link to download an XLSX file I get a pop up screen asking what application to use to OPEN the file. That appears to be the default option for this file type. The other option on the screen is to SAVE which is what I want as the default. How do I change this pop up to have the SAVE button selected instead of OPEN. I'm running the current version of FF on a Windows 11 system.
