I am trying to download or open a file type of .psdata for which I have an application installed however when I click the link FF simply opens the file which of course displays a page of binary data.

FF used to open this file correctly but now it does not.

Thanks

With what content type does the server send the file?

  • Tools > Page Info > General

If Firefox displays the file in a tab then it is likely that the server sends the file as text/plain.

Try a right click, select Save As.

Is the plugin that is used to handle this file type still enabled?

You can check that on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page.

Thanks for responding Fred.

Yes, Save As works fine and I am sure our web site users could do that but the data will be known to them and they will have the application installed on their PC. So with that in mind we would like to open the appliction or at least get to the Open/Save dialog.

Thanks cor-el

The application isn't installed as a plugin, it is a program on the PC.

This works fine in IE and used to work with previous versions of FF. The file type is recognized and the option to save or open the program is given.

As I say, at the moment all I am getting is a browser page of binary data instead of the Save or Open option.

Yes it does.
