  1. Go to Firefox menu > Preferences> Applications.
  2. In the list, search for the entry for Microsoft Powerpoint.
  3. For this entry, change its Action to Always ask.

See these articles for more information:
Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files.
Manage file types and download actions in Firefox.

I am very sorry, but after getting your e-mail reply with a procedure for finding your reply (following it step-by-step) when I got to : "Applications" I was unable to find any mention of "Microsoft Powerpoint". Did you forget to post it ????

I surely would appreciate it if you would instruct me correctly, or even better, type your answer on an e-mail message directly to me, which I would prefer !!!!

Thank you,
