Link to document on a website doesn't load document
Only in Firefox (and not Explorer or Chrome), when I click on a link to a document in a website, it does not OPEN that document, it only allows me to SAVE it to a file on my computer. I suspect this is a setting somewhere but I just want it to OPEN, not SAVE, unless I first open it and decide I want to download/save it somewhere on my computer. How do I get it to just OPEN for me so I can see/review the document?

Firefox keeps a set of application handlers for different types of content. If it were a PDF, for example, usually the server would indicate it is an application/pdf type and Firefox would open the PDF in the built-in viewer. So the result of clicking a link depends on what kind of document the server indicates it is AND how Firefox is currently set to handle it.
To see the current associations, you can open the Options page to the Applications panel.
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
In the left column, click Applications. The right side may take several moments to load as a settings file is read in.
