When opening a csv file, Firefox identifies it as a text file. How do you change the file extension to associate with CSV/Excel since it identifies the file as Text.
You have chosen to open CompanyData_201103151152.csv which is a: Text Document from: https://webaddress
What should Firefox do with this file? Open with (drop down list - I have to set it for Excel.EXE)

Try opening the file outside Firefox. To do this: 1. Save the target file on your local drive (Right-click "Save link as"). 2. Using Windows Explorer, open the folder where you saved the file. 3. Double click the file to open it (it should default to Excel). If this fails, right-click and navigate the context sensitive menu to "Open With" and select Excel.
That usually happens if the server sends the file as text/plain
Firefox will display such a file as text file instead of showing the "Open with" download dialog.
You will have to safe that file and open it in Excel like posted above.
