So when i was downloading a torrent, the downloads pop up opened, and i accidentally clicked, "do it like this from now on" or something. What was selected was "Open" with utorrent, instead of "Save". So now whenever i download a torrent, instead of saving first and then allowing me to open later, i just open it with the utorrent program instead. I want to undo it so that i have a choice when to open it and to just save it.

Go to Options >> Go to Applications tab >> Search for TORRENT file >> Select "always ask " or "save file" from drop down menu.

I have Firefox version 11 and i do not find the 'TORRENT file' in the applications tab. All other file types are set to 'always ask me' but still Firefox gives me just the save option. The only file type which gives me the option for save or open is WordPad.

-> Start Firefox in -> Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if your add-ons/extensions are causing the problems.

Check and tell if its working normally while using Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
