Hi,

I'm using FF 16.0.2

I have to open a link/attachment on a webpage that is a .html file.

When I click open, regardless of what software I use to do so: OpenOffice, IE, FF, notepad, wordpad - only HTML code is seen. This is what I assume to be because of what "jscher2000" mentioned - the URL is converted into a HTML.txt file.

Notably, if I go to the website on IE and open the HTML file through it, it works no problem. I have tried disabling addons.

I have been looking for fixes & addons to go around this problem, but none so far. First time posting!
