I specified downloads should always open automatically in Acrobat, and I want to change that now & have firefox ask every time again.

Every time I downloaded a file, Firefox asked me what to do with it: open, save to desktop, etc. There was also a check box for "do this automatically from now on." I checked that box, so now Firefox is automatically opening in Acrobat as I specified. But now I've changed my mind and want Firefox to ask me what to do with each download again. How can I change that preference?
