Navigating to Gmail Prompts me to Download a txt file

I have my gmail as a tab in my bookmarks and when I click on it I am not taken to the gmail account. Instead, a window pops open that says: You have chosen to open response.txt which is: Document from mail.google.com

At the top it says Opening response.txt

When I try the workaround of manually typing gmail into the browser, or searching through google it always gives me the same pop up and will not take me to gmail. I think this is an issue with firefox because every other browser gets me to gmail fine. This is only a problem with gmail.

Does anyone know what the problem may be here, and even more important, what a solution might be? I've run antivirus software as well which comes up with nothing.
