I was trying to download a document, however, it wanted to open it in word10 but I don't have that installed on my computer. I then browsed for the old version of word I have and preceded to have it automatically open the document there but when it did, it was symbols and things that were not readable. I tried to download the document again and now it pulls up word with that same document. I need to know how I can go have it set so that it doesn't automatically do that anymore but ask how it did initially? Help!

hello letjeff, it depends if you've done this change in firefox only or on a windows system level...

for filetype association in firefox please see: Manage file types and download actions in Firefox

for filetypes in windows 7 see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default
