Docs opening with google not Firefox
I want the privacy to open documents in emails with Firefox. Why am I being directed to google only? I don't have gmail and don't want google involved.

Firefox can handle PDFs and images itself, but most other kinds of email attachments require another application.
What kind of file was it? For example, was it a word processing document (for example, a .doc or .docx file) you might normally view/edit with Microsoft Office, Google Docs, or a locally installed program like OpenOffice or LibreOffice?
It is a docx file. I would like it to open with LibreOffice. How do I reset the default there?
It depends. If you are clicking a button that sends a download directly to Firefox, then Firefox would check the Applications list, which you can update on the Settings page. See: Manage file types and download actions in Firefox.
If you are clicking a button that shows a preview or takes you to Google Drive, then hopefully there is a different button you can use to get a direct download.
