php download link brings up an octet/stream
Hello!
I've programmed a website that distributes my music through a .php direct download link. In most web browsers, clicking on the said link would immediately download my music to their download folder, as expected.
With Firefox, however, people are reporting a failure in this download and when I tested it out for myself, it looks as if the filename has been cut down to one word and it appears to be in an "octet/stream", according to Firefox.
If I rename the file, giving it the .mp3 extension back, the file will play on my computer. But my question is, is there a different piece of code that I need to put on my website that will allow my users to directly download music files to their computer? Currently I have a secondary link for firefox users telling them to right-click and save, but I would like a one-button solution for everyone.

Don't have spaces in the file names, use-hyphens-or_underscores_instead of spaces.
