When I click on a Word file in Blackboard, it automatically downloads the file to my computer. How do I get the option back for the file to open or download?
Question When I click on a Word File in Blackboard, it used to ask me if I want to open or download. I accidentally told it always to download, but I want it to give me me the option of opening or downloading. How do I get this option back? All I can find in tools options is for it to ask me where to download. Thanks.

This didn't help, because unless I'm missing something, all this does is give me the option of where to download, not the option to open instead of downloading. I used to get a window that asked me "What should Firefox do with this file?" It gave me two options: 1) Open with ... and 2) Save file. Under that there is another box that says "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." When I clicked on that box, I thought I was telling it to open the files from now on, but apparently I was telling it to save the files from now on. In a nutshell, I want to get this window back that gives me the option of opening the file immediately or downloading it. I don't just want the option of where to download, as your solution seems to be. I can't believe that selecting "do this automatically from now on" is irrevocable. Please help! Thanks.
Do you see any download action for that file type in Firefox/Tools > Options > Applications ?
