If I click on a text file hyperlink, I want a download dialog, not for firefox to try to open it (>20MB).

When I click on a hyperlink to a large text file, how can I change FireFox's default behavior to open a "File-Save" dialog box directly? Instead FireFox tries to open the file and for very large text files, 25MB or more, which is excruciatingly slow. I use a program to process these files in seconds, if only I could download them.

Thanks - Ed
