The email attachments are Word documents -- doc or docx. When the download box appears the document is labeled as attachment.ashx instead of the document name with the docx ending. Must then browse through the program files to Microsoft office to properly open the file. The original file name is lost.

Hi,

I'm sorry you are having this problem, here is another post about the same problem, where the cause of the problem is described: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/894442

A bug has been filed to track resolution of the issue here, because a true fix isn't yet available: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703015

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Michelle
