How do I prevent Save as .csv file alwways appending .txt to the filename if I choose the "Open with" action?
My ASP csv download page is calling:
Response.Clear Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=filename.csv" Response.ContentType = "Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8"
When I click on the link to this ASP page the Firefox "Opening filename.csv" dialog appears:
filename.csv which is a: Text Document
If I choose "Open with <Any Application name>" the file is always opened by the application with a .txt appended to the filename, which in this particular case prevents my spreadsheet software from correctly opening it.
a) How do I prevent the .txt being appended to the file name if OpenWith is used?
b) Is there a way to add a CSV type to the Tools->Options Applications Content Type list to prevent the "which is a: Text Document" message?
This behaviour does not happen in Chrome, Opera, Safari or IE.

It was a fault of the server, not Firefox.
The ASP should have been:
Response.ContentType = "text/csv; charset=utf-8"
Fixed!
thanks

Is there no entry in Application Options for text/csv?
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type csv and pause while Firefox filters the list.
If you have Microsoft Office installed, the dialog typically lists "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File (text/csv)" (you need to display the mouseover tooltip to see all of it).
I assume Firefox extracts this information from the registry. If you want to reset the Application Options and have Firefox rebuild them, the method is described in this article:
