I used to able to download Mpeg4 files as Mpeg4. Now when I want to download a movie from Internet Archive Firefox starts to play the thing. How do I disable this so that my downloads proceed as before.

If a file is configured to be open with Firefox, it will be open with Firefox, instead of asking you what to do with it. You may choose to change what it's set to be open with, or you may simply right click the file (such as an image or a video) and select Save [File] As... If the file is not open yet, you may simply right click its link and select Save Link As...
