I unintentionally clicked the 'Do this always for these types of files' in the downloads window when it would pop up. But now I want to edit those settings - instead of always saving, I'd like the download button to just open the file instead. I can't figure out how to edit that default 'Do this always for these types of files' settings - please help!
