open excel files in excel
Hello, I just downloaded FireFox 8 because I've had enough of IE. Now, when I click on an Excel file in Sharepoint 2010 it opens it directly in Firefox, without the option of download/save. I need to open these files in Excel so I have the analysis and editing of Excel. How do I bring this option back so that it doesn't directly open in Firefox? When I click the Open in Excel button, I get an error ''To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel installed and your Web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in the browser.''

As an Excel user you might be interested in these two extensions

Thanks for the response. When I type Excel it's not an option. Any ideas?
So it appears the issue is only with *.xlsx extensions (new for Office 2007). Is there a plug-in that can tell FF it is still an Excel file? Don't need the editing capability in Sharepoint just to download into Excel and save locally. Thanks!
There isn't a plugin available for Firefox to open MS Office files in a Firefox tab (there is one for Open Office).
Save the file to your hard drive if you can't open the file in Excel via the download dialog.
