Every time I try to open an email attachment firefox goes directly to a save file window. It used to give me the option of open or save but does no longer. How do I change it so it will let me open the file not save it?

You must know: You should NEVER open Email attachments without saving them, then scanning them for malware, FIRST.
This "bad behaviour" (opening an email attachment) is the number reason Windows PC's get infected.
So, you can't change it. This is a security feature built in to Firefox, to prevent people opening potentially infected Email attachments (and any other type of download that is risky).
