I used to be able to just open the files. I thought it was a constant contact problem but it works fine in Safari.

Hi oakcliff, Thank you for your question. It could possibly be a saved Application preference for the file type or can be a preference for the site that was stored.

I would recommend to reset Firefox to restore the defaults for that preference and then try to open the attachment one more time. There will be an option to remember the preference if I remember correctly.

Please post back with your results, it can help other users.
