I am trying to open a document from internet and wants to do it editable for doing some changes in it. In Microsoft Word i get the "Protected view" and pushes the "Enable editing" button. It works fine in IE9 but doing the same in firefox makes the document still in readonly mode. I have an addin that saves it back to the server where i have opened it. Because the file is in readonly mode i cannot save it back to server. Why is the document not set to editable mode?

That is for protection. Firefox saves files that are past to an external program in the temp folder (%temp%) and files in that folder may get removed (deleted) after you close that external program causing dataloss if you made changes. Firefox saves the file as read-only to prevent that. You will have to save the file under a different name (possibly in a different location) using "Save as" if you want to make changes to a file.
