A couple of weeks ago, instead of OPENING a page, I kept getting a popup with a choice of opening or saving a application/x-httpd-php file. I do NOT want it downloaded into my computer temp files, but that is exactly what it is doing. The default of "always ask" is fine, but Firefox isn't one of the available selections below it. I have chosed "other" over and over, selected Firefox, saved it and gone to the same website and voila - it opens the page but this is the URL: file:///C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/VH34Jzs+-1.part I go back to Troubleshooting and open the application extensions and, sure enough, it's back to "always ask." I did the removal of the mimeTypes.rdf and rebooted but it didn't help.

So, I can't get a change of Action for the application/xhttpd-php to stay the preferred action and I don't want it storing on my computer every time I look at a page that has that content type.

WHAT CAN I DO???

This sounds like a server misconfiguration.
PHP files should be processed by a web server and you should get the resulting HTML code send as text/html. In such a case you should never select Firefox because Firefox can't handle such files and you can't end open with new tabs opening endlessly if you set an automatic action.

Do you have any server software installed?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

You can delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

I CANNOT reset the extension options from "don't ask" or "save" to use the "other" and pick Firefox. Today, it won't even let me change it for ONE use! Yesterday, I could choose Firefox and it wouldn't keep it selected (even with clicking to use that extension always) but today I can't change it from the two auto options (don't ask and save)! Even yesterday, tho....it saved it (against my selection) and opened it from my C drive.

Hello Cor-el -

I did everything you said to do ........and it worked! But I can't find a place to mark it SOLVED! At least, anyone reading this thread will read it is 

                                                   SOLVED

Thank you so much. I don't know why it didn't work before, except that I hadn't dumped the cookies I guess.
