    Firefox Automatically Download Prevention

    I think that I have accidentally got it so that instead of opening a file when a link is clicked on, it downloads it to my default location - must have clicked the tickbox by accident. Doeas anyone know how to revert this back so that files are opened as opposed to saved by default?
