I am having trouble downloading zipfiles. Normally a box comes up titled "You have chosen to open" then the title. Then "What should Firefox do with this file?" up until recently it has said "Open with Winrar" Now it says "Save files" When I download files they are only Read Files and of course will not open. Help please

Do you mean read-only? You can change the action in FF by clicking tools, options, applications, WinRAR zip archive.

Not sure what you mean. Firefox, tools, options, applications?

Download and see if this zip file will extract.
