Sorry, please ignore.
At some point firefox changed from defaulting to save many filetypes to disk to defaulting to a "helper application" or "viewer" or whatever they call it. I used to save pdfs, but now they default to opening, with a loss of the original filename. I used to default to saving zips but they now default to being opened with WINE. This one perplexes me. -josh
