If they have the wrong file extension then you need to rename them or make sure to save them with the correct file extension.

The correct file extension????

If you think that they are Word documents then they should have a .doc file extension. I assume that they are now saved as .html if they are Firefox documents.

Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default and .html and .txt are among those.
