I was downloading a file, when I accidentally clicked the "Do this automatically..." box when I try to click the ok button, how do I change it back to the way it was. [asking to open with or save]

If you can't find it there then you will have to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
