Hi, I have been doing an online course for the past year. I get all my work booklets from a site through my collage, in the past I have clicked on the work booklets and they have opened in another page so I can read them, this page gives me the option to print them or download them to my computer if I want. A message always used to pop up when I choose the option to download it to my computer (sorry I can't actually remember what this said) and I always used to click yes. There was an option to not ask this question again so I clicked it. Now when I want to open one of these work booklets it automatically downloads them to my computer and I don't want it to do this. How can I make it stop?

Thanks Layla

My guess is that these booklets are PDF documents. Try updating your setting for PDFs under Options > Applications as described in this article: View and edit PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer. Does that work?
