When I click on any link to open, I get a pop-up window to Save link, open in new Window, open in new tab, etc...instead of just opening link. I don't want the pop-up window.

I would recommend resetting any saved preferences for the site by editing the permissions. Site Information panel and Firefox Page Info window will help with accessing saved permissions for a specific page.

However if it is happening on multiple sites you can change what Firefox does with certain application files in the Application settings: Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
