How can I open a file I want to download without saving it first? No. none of those articles answer my question.
In the past whenever I clicked to download a file in Firefox it asked if I wanted to open it or save it. Something has changed and now I'm only given the option to save. Often I don't want to save, I just want to see the file. How can I reset my options so I'm given the option to open without saving?
