You renamed a pdf file to a do file?

Did you tell the computer how to open this file? Firefox can't open this file because FF does not know what to do with it.

No i did not rename the file. It is sent as a *.do file & u are right FF does not know how to handle it, but if I get it in IE I can read the file! Can this be fixed in FF?

Windows knows what to do with a DO file. Do you rename it to PDF, or leave it as a DO?

Go to a download page with the DO file. Tell Firefox to open the file. It should ask what to do with it.
