Hello Myrorna.

You may be having an usability problem with the email service you are using. Are you sure you are not seeing the word document in an online document viewer? Firefox doesn't read word documents, so it's not possible for Firefox to save documents as a word document.

Unless you are using an add-on for such effect, in which case you need to contact its author for support.
