Downloading Word docs

When I download Word docs on a site I use often for work, the doc opens in Word just fine. The problem is that the website I was using changes to a blank tab. The "back" button disappears. I need that site that I downloaded from to remain open.

On the "tabs" menu under Mozilla options, I have tried clicking [Open new windows in a new tab instead] both ways, to no avail.

I have also already tried this method: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/applications-panel-set-how-firefox-handles-files
