In Internet Explorer, I can open Sharepoint files directly from their links so the file in Sharepoint is automatically updated when I save it. But in Chrome, it asks to download the file instead of just opening it. In Firefox, it can open the file but still just downloads it to a temporary folder then opening it.
How can I directly open Sharepoint files in Chrome or Firefox just like I do in Internet Explorer?

Installing the Chrome extension IE Tab did the job for me.
It has the ability to auto-detect URLs so whenever I browse to our SharePoint it emulates Internet Explorer. Finally I can open Office documents directly from Chrome.
You can install IETab for FireFox too.
