Why can I download attachments using Yahoo Classic Mail, but not using newer Yahoo Mail?

How can I OPEN attachments in Yahoo mail without having to SAVE them (using Firefox)?

Hi, Using 'new' yahoo mail, running windows, and browsing with Firefox. When I get an email with an attachment, 99.99999999999999% of the time I want to view it, but NOT SAVE it/download it. However, yahoo doesn't allow me to do that. I'm talking about simple attachments like PDF, XLS, DOC, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer:

FIREFOX Click on TOOLS ...then OPTIONS. Once the next box comes up click on the GENERAL TAB unless it is already in it. Scroll down to ALWAYS ASK ME WHERE TO SAVE FILES and click on the circle to the left so the dot is in the middle of it... Go below and click OK. Now when you download something it will ask you where you want to send it.
