Somebody who uses an Apple computer has scanned and sent me a document (Applefile) to my email as an attachment. When I want to open it, a box opens and Firefox asks me What should Firefox do with this file? Open with ¨Browse ¨, or Save file.

I want to open this file, but do not know with which application I am suppose to open it, nor do I know how to find such an application. I use Open Office, and normally Firefox chooses for me how to open something, but sadly not this time. So, I do not know how to open this file.

Who can help me?

The easiest thing to do might be to ask the sender to resend that attachment using a different email program, or by web mail.
