Actual Results: opens a 'file save as' dialogue Expected Results: should open the word program to open the doc

Noted that there is a pref in pref.js getting set (something like helper.applications.neverAsk.saveToFile) that includes application/msword. When I manually remove that line, this problem doesn't happen. Don't know how that preference got set.
