If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

My question was already detailed: If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

Here's an example. I want Firefox to go to this link: http://www.therevdrcharleswallen.com/CV2008.doc It won't. Explorer will go there, but Firefox won't. I don't want to open an extra document. I want to visit the site in my browser.

Firefox can't handle MS Office documents and you will have to open such a file in an external Office program of viewer.
