With some update of Firefox, it changed the way it handled Excel files to where it opened in Excel automatically instead of asking to open or save. I know how to change this in the Settings|Application, but I have a few users that Excel is not listed in the Content Type at all. Does anyone know how to add an application type if it's missing?

Thanks
