But what kind of file is it? An image file? A movie file? A Word document?

Right-click on the file and go to properties. There should be a line that says "opens with" and a button next to it that says change. Click on that button and select firefox. It also seems like IE might still be set as your default browser. You probably want firefox, so somewhere in the firefox options there is a setting for that. I'm an opera user (lover!), but it should be easy to find and hopefully someone else in this thread knows exactly where it is.
