All ~~.lsp~~ file attachments appear to be downloading as a single file called: 'index.php'.

Upon inspecting the 'index.php' file as a Text File, it does contain the original .lsp contents.

Anyone else noticed this?

( Using: Firefox8.0 on Windows7 32-bit )

EDIT: All attachments are affected.

No problems here. But I'm using Chrome.

Lee Mac · « **Reply #2 on:** November 09, 2011, 12:26:51 pm »

I've only noticed it since upgrading to Firefox8.0 today, so I'm guessing that's the cause.

CAB · « **Reply #3 on:** November 09, 2011, 01:11:45 pm »

Thanks for the warning. I haven't upgraded yet.

Se7en · « **Reply #4 on:** November 09, 2011, 01:22:41 pm »

Do not left-click the attachment; right-click and choose "save as".

BTW, this problem isn't because of Firefox8. It has been around since Firefox3 I think.

CAB · « **Reply #5 on:** November 09, 2011, 03:39:49 pm »

I use left click & it works fine.

What are you trying to say CAB?

I think he's disrespecting you, Se8en! He doesn't believe you and is actually saying that you have no idea what you're talking about!

Ok, I kid.

I think he said that left click is working fine for him.

Just saying that I have FireFox 7.0.1 and the left Click downloads correctly.
Nothing more.

So, "It works for me" is the answer to the problem?

No, but CAB's response states that it isn't a global issue - working for some.

Se7en · « **Reply #12 on:** November 09, 2011, 04:28:47 pm »

What?

Thanks for the workaround.

I figured it was from FF8 since this is the first time I've noticed it, but maybe it is due to something else entirely. Judging by the other responses in the thread, it seems I am the only one experiencing this issue...

Se7en · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2011, 08:46:13 am »

No problem.

The `right-click' would probably considered the "proper Internet technique". The `work-around' would be to clear your cache every time the `left-click' problem happens (works most of the time) but we are in the "guest accessible problems forum" so...

CAB · « **Reply #15 on:** November 10, 2011, 11:38:49 am »

Just upgraded to FF8 and now have the problem.

That confirms my suspicions then

I tracked down the problem.

Nice detective work John.

Could someone with Firefox 8 please see if this issue has been fixed?

paulmcz · « **Reply #21 on:** December 02, 2011, 09:04:05 pm »

Yes, it was fixed. I had the same problem since the upgrade to FF8.

Se7en · « **Reply #24 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:48:54 pm »

So, is that a "no"?

paulmcz · « **Reply #25 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:42:18 pm »

It looks OK here. I can either open or save it. And no more 'index.php'

Kerry · « **Reply #26 on:** December 03, 2011, 01:44:14 am »

Using LeftClick in 8.0.1 works fine for me ...

Lee Mac · « **Reply #27 on:** December 03, 2011, 05:39:21 am »

Fixed for me, thanks Se7en

Se7en · « **Reply #28 on:** December 03, 2011, 10:04:46 am »

8.0.1 Left Click works for me too

paulmcz · « **Reply #30 on:** December 07, 2011, 09:25:58 am »

Firefox wouldn't tolerate spaces in file names now. Skips extension too.

CAB · « **Reply #31 on:** December 07, 2011, 09:49:28 am »

Confirmed, thanks for the heads up.

This issue appears to have resurfaced since the forum maintenance.

CAB · « **Reply #33 on:** December 28, 2011, 09:38:01 am »

Same here, and on other sites as well.
PITA when you can't open a PDF file.
When they have space in the name I'm having to save them with a name & extent & reopen from my computer.
So must be a issue with Fox as well.
