Natao arisiva ity resaka mitohy ity. Mametraha fanontaniana azafady raha mila fanampiana.

Downloaded attachments now come in as genericlly named ashx files instead of their native format and names. How do I get this to go back to normal?

I am running Firefox on a MAC with OS X 10.6.8 and when downloading a file the files are now coming in as generic "attachment.ashx" files instead of coming in with their original name and extension. I can change the extension to the original and the file will open but it is a pain to have to rename and change the extension for every download. This just started and I want to know how to get it back to the previous way of downloading. Thanks!

Outlook Web Access sends an illegal Content-Dispositon header to Firefox. This is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. Firefox 9 will have a workaround for this so that Microsoft has time to fix their software.
