Firefox should be able to open a text file by default, mine does.
Maybe you (or an extension) have added a specific action for text files that is no longer possible so it is defaulting to asking or offering to download.
Check any actions listed under file type .txt make a note of what it is currently then delete it.
- use Firefox Button -> Options -> | Applications |
scroll down looking for a .txt entry, select & right click for options - see Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
That happens if the text file isn't send as text/plain, but with another MIME type.
