Whenever I download files, I click the download link and it automatically downloads without asking me to save or open the file. I previously set firefox to automatically save the file. Now I want it to automatically use flashgot to download files

Select Firefox->Options, (or Tools->Options) Under the "General" tab there is a button to always ask where to save files.
