Stop Microsoft execl and word from opening IN firefox
Hello everyone,
I hope you can help, because I've been searching forever. How can i prevent Microsoft Excel and Word from opening IN Firefox? The action I would like is to have it open in it's respective program and NOT have to hit the "Edit" button.
I'm using Firefox 54.0 (64-bit).
I have set the default action to open in excel in the option menu, yet it still uses firefox.
Thanks. Not sure what to do now.

Hi
There are two settings you may need to change:
- In the Windows Control Panel, there will be a menu that sets application preferences for the operating system.
- In Firefox, type about:preferences into the address bar - about halfway down the list are the options to set for various file types Firefox may encounter. Change the options for Word and Excel file types
Firefox can't display XLS/XLSX or DOC/DOCX content on its own. The website might be converting them to an HTML version of the document to show them in a tab. Perhaps the site has a way to bypass that so they are handled as downloads instead.
