How do I get firefox to ask if I want to view or save downloads?

I used to be able to click on the attachment download link and it would ask me if I wanted to view or save the file. Now it only allows me to save the file! How do I change this back to previous way that was better?

You have to go to Tools, Options and then click on the Applications heading and then switch everything that says "Save File" to "Always Ask"
