we have a file named file.loa in a repo/website. When we download the file in firefox, it gets downloaded as file.mp3. If I download the same file in Chrome, it gets downloaded as file.loa. What is making firefox rename this file please? multiple people have been able to reproduce this weird behavior.

Can you provide the site URL so others can test to see what is happening when they try to save it.

With what content-type does the server send these files as Firefox might be sniffing if an unknown/generic MIME type is send ?
