When I try to open files the pop-up window comes up, asking "What should Firefox do with this file". I have the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" box checked. Why won't it accept this setting? I have tried going into the settings tab like it says, but I have to go thru this routine every time. Can somenone tell me how to fix this?

Thanks
