When I go to a certain website (bristolairport.co.uk) I get a blank page + pop-up saying "you have chosent o download XXX which is an aspx file". How do I get Firefox to handle this file correctly and display the web page?
Which aspx file gives the problem varies, according to whether I disable or enable Ubuntu Firefox modifications 1.0. With them enabled, the filename is blank/null. With them disabled there is a readable normal filename (e.g. security.aspx).

That can be caused by website servers that do not recognize your Ubuntu branded user agent.

You can try to remove that part with the user agent switcher extension

cor-el - I don't know who you are but thank-you for your help - problem solved!
You're welcome
I hope you're still around.. This old lady downloaded the add-on and restarted Firefox. The files still are downloaded aspx. I change them to pdf and double click. That works for one but then when I try it again I get the spinning beach ball and have to relaunch the Finder.

Do I have to "run" the add-on???

Thanks, corel! It worked like a charm. I was having the same problem with www.coldwatercreek.com. This problem was interfering with my shopping. :-)
puppypat - go to Tools, select Default User Agent, change it to Internet Explorer 8, then try your url again.
I SWITCHED TO CHROME AND HAD NO PROBLEMS.
