Hi,

When I try to display some web pages, Firefox says "download started" and saves a strange file into the Download folder on my Android phone without displaying the web content. Every time I have to go to Download folder and delete this file/files.

This symptom occured after updating to version 30. Using android 4.3.

(please try to visit www.avea.com.tr. Downloaded file names: dw+5hStx, pFjzGly6 etc.)

Thanks

http://www.avea.com.tr/web/ sends an invalid file type to Firefox. They need to fix their site. The issue is that the home page is sent as application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml which is not correct for Firefox.

By the way, I want to mention that there is no problem when using Opera Mini, Chrome or stock browser.
