I want to download rather than play an .wmv file. I cannot find where the setting is that causes firefox to play the file rather than download it.

Additionally my firefox is apparently set to let my organization control my settings. I have not organization even though this appears to be limiting what I can do with some settings. how do I change this?

Do .wmv files fit into any category listed under Settings > General > Files and Applications > Applications? If not, see this article:

It seems you have a policy document, possibly created by security software. Enter about:policies in the address bar and post the contents here.

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from playing media files you open in a tab via the HTML5 media player.
