Lightning Fast! My file associations WERE completely borked after the last firefox update. Thank you!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
For some reason, when I click on a .doc or .docx file attachment in gmail or a web forum in Firefox, the only option I have is to save the file. The view in google docs (in gmail) and the download option to open it with an app are gone. <br />
<br />
Any ideas on how to fix it?<br />

thanks, Erin Cox-Holmes

Download and View of .doc files not working in Firefox

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
