Is there a way to bypass this screen and have Firefox just open the file without asking? I tried changing the settings in "applications" and also tried disabling the Adobe Plug-In so it opens up in Adobe Reader but was still getting same message.

Firefox keeps popping up &quot;What should firefox do with this file&quot;

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.
