I get "you have chosen to open 'my_recentlocationslist.jsp' popping up trying to save the jsp file occasionally with this latest firefox. It is trying to save it as if it is a download...?

Lately, when using firefox, a box will pop up that looks similar to the request to download a file... It give me a choice to "open with" or "save file".

Here is what the box reads out in full:

"Opening my_recentLocationsList.jsp" "You have chosen to open" "My_recentLocationsList.jsp" "which is a: jsp File" From: Http:// ** Whatever web site caused this to happen** "What should Firefox do with this file?" "Open with" Browse button "Save File" "Do this automatically for files like this from now on"

Any ideas?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
