Upon clicking a "Download" link for a podcast through Firefox I received a prompt asking for my preference of how to open the file and I incorrectly directed it to play the podcast through Sound. This streams the podcast and does not download it. Since then I've tried resetting my preferences for Mozilla in Task Manager, looking through the available settings in Firefox, and reading some troubleshooting forums. I would like to be able to actually download the file. Specifically it is the download link here http://tomwoods.com/podcasts/.

When I click it takes me to:

It just started to play in the browser and did not ask. Normally there are site settings if you go to Page > Site Settings. However I did not have any either. If you long tap on this page however, you can: Play, Full Screen, Mute, Safe Audio or open with an app.

Do you have another plugin that has prompted this option?

Thanks for the reply. The standard "Internet" world icon app that comes pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy S4 let's me choose to download it or stream it.
