I click on the attachment and it automatically downloads. Not always what I'm looking to do. I used to have a box pop up from Firefox asking me if I want to open or download...doesn't appear anymore. Help please.

Hello,

Please check your download settings in:

  • Tools (or New Fx Menu) > General

And change the download settings to "Always ask me where to save files".
