    can't open .doc in firefox
    « on: September 24, 2011, 09:44:28 PM »
     I have to use firefox to access the blackboard website where my homework is posted. something (an auto update or me being less than an expert on computers) caused it to try and open the documents with word 2010 which I don't have.  So I tried to change the default program and I accidently changed it to a shrotcut instead of word 2007 itself.  Now not only will it not open the documents, but when I right click on it the only options I get are for the link itself (i.e. "copy link location", "save link" etc.)  There is no "open with" or save option or anything.  My default programs for IE are fine, this is only occuring in FF.  Any suggestions??

      Thank you!  That did indeed contain the answer.
