I get "you have chosen to open 'my_recentlocationslist.jsp' popping up trying to save the jsp file occasionally with this latest firefox. It is trying to save it as if it is a download...?

Lately, when using firefox, a box will pop up that looks similar to the request to download a file... It give me a choice to "open with" or "save file".

Here is what the box reads out in full:

"Opening my_recentLocationsList.jsp" "You have chosen to open" "My_recentLocationsList.jsp" "which is a: jsp File" From: Http:// ** Whatever web site caused this to happen** "What should Firefox do with this file?" "Open with" Browse button "Save File" "Do this automatically for files like this from now on"

Any ideas?
