I am downloading a Condition book from a website and when it hits my Firefox downloads display, it is in .cfm file. Upon clicking the file, I get a 'code file' but nothing intelligible. When I use Explorer or Chrome to download and open the same file, they open it completely normally.

Is there a way to fix this issue on Firefox? I use Firefox exclusively, but this problem has been recurring.
