If you are downloading and opening a lot of documents directly from Firefox. Firefox, by default will write them to disk with read only permission, causing OpenOffice to open them read only. This is annoying if you want to make minor modifications before copying and pasting into a report. The solutions is within Firefox. Go to “about:config” and set “browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit” to false.
