How do I prevent the "Downloads" pop-up box from appearing when I open an attachment since Firefox also gives me the "Opening...txt" box?

My software allows a user to open Attachments. I get a box with the title "Opening message1.txt" which also has an "Open with" radio button. I then click the OK button and my attachment is displayed. However, I also get a second box with the title "Downloads." How do change the Firefox Options to not get the Downloads box?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
