Was on a website when a box opened up asking me what I wanted to run the application as and I clicked on Firefox - now I can't use that website.

You should never select Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an open with dialog. Firefox wouldn't ask this if it can handle the file.
You will have to remove that action in Tools > Options > Applications
