It sounds like you have Firefox set to automatically open the eBook instead of actually saving it.

In Firefox, go to Options | General and change the settings. Under Downloads, You want "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" and "Always ask me where to save files" checked. The rest unchecked.

When the requester pops up, you want Save File checked. Then click OK. Another requester will pop up asking where to save the file.

If for some reason you have FireFox set to automatically download ePub to ADE, you'll need to fix this by going to Options | Applications, finding the application type for ePub and changing the action to Always Ask.

I hope this helps.
