I have accidentally select the "do this automatically for files like this from now on" when opening a file. Now, every time I'm opening a file, it will automatically ask where to save it. I would like to opening it first. How to reset? Thank you.

If you can't do this in "Tools > Options > Applications" then you can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
