wen i want to print a word document attached in an email I've received firefox won't open it and when i try to save the document to print it later instead firefox wants to save the document as a firefox document. If i change the format to word document and then save it, it can't be opened at all...

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== i started using firefox instead of explorer

Hello Myrorna.

You may be having an usability problem with the email service you are using. Are you sure you are not seeing the word document in an online document viewer? Firefox doesn't read word documents, so it's not possible for Firefox to save documents as a word document.

Unless you are using an add-on for such effect, in which case you need to contact its author for support.
