When such things happen, it's recommended that you choose "Save to disk" option, then double click on the file when it's fully downloaded.

To prevent your computer from doing this all the time, reinstall mozilla firefox or change the settings.

And Click on "Options..."

Choose the "Content" tab and under "File Types", click on the "Manage..." button. A small window will pop up, allowing you to change settings for file opening.
