Hi,

A good chunk of my time is spent using sharepoint as part of collaborative work. For years now I find myself using two different browsers, Firefox for everything except when I work with sharepoint for which I use chrome or edge. The issue is that I can open a document in sharepoint however the document always opens as read only document. Even if I checkout the document in advance in sharepoint it stills opens as read only. This of course makes the process a bit cumbersome has I need to save the document locally and upload the document to sharepoint after I finish with it. On the other hand when I use edge or chrome the document opens and prompts me to check out the document (this is done within word or excel). After checking out the document (one button click) I can make my edits and when I click save it saves directly in sharepoint. Once I’m finished with it I can check in the document before closing the document which makes the entire process more streamlined. The only difference I can see is the fact that Firefox opens the document in read only mode. Is there a way of making it open office documents in edit mode? Thank you in advance for any pointer or suggestions
