You should never select Firefox as the program to handle a file when you get the "Open with" dialog.
If you would set an automatic action for this file type then you end up with tabs getting opened endlessly.
If Firefox would be able to handle this file then you wouldn't get this dialog.
Can you tell us with which file type this happens?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
