how to open a downloaded file

I want the downloaded file/document to open automatically. Instead it goes off to the downloads file; then I have to open finder>> then find the file. I used to be able to do this; but cant find the suitable setting.

iMac 24″, macOS 13.5

Check your web browser's download preferences. If you're using Safari, it's the "Open safe files after downloading" item in the General tab.
