Document automatically downloaded from SharePoint document library in Chrome and Firefox

Question

I have a MS-word document in a library which gets downloaded automatically when I click over it. I am using Google Chrome and Firefox.

It works fine when using Internet Explorer.

How can I avoid this issue in other browsers (Google Chrome and Firefox) while I have "Edit" permission for the documents

Any suggestion / solutions will be appreciated

Answer 1

It will not work with SP2010 and other browser than IE - just expand the item context menu and click Edit in Excel and you will get the error message (using Chrome/FF).
