I use to be able to download a file and it would ask me would you like to save or open this file. I must have accidentally clicked "always do this" and I didn't mean to. I tried deleting the handlers.json but nothing works. How do I get back to the old way when I would save a file and it would ask me would I like to open or save it? I want to bring back the window below.

Hello,

You can disable this feature by going into the settings for Firefox, searching for the "Files and Applications" section, and clicking on the "Always ask you where to save files" option. Hope that helps!
