Firefox Problem
 

All of a sudden .zip and .rar files are d/l as .php Any idea why?

Perfect. Thanks for the help.

firefox
 

just started in firefox...i tried the "useragent control options" and that didn't work.

I'm getting it too with firefox and it just started all of a sudden without me downloading or updating anything.

It only happens on this site as I am able to download from other sites no problem.

Also, I can download the thumbnail of the image but when I click on it so that it becomes full sized and then try to save it, it gives me that attachment issue??

Me too with firefox attachement.php... cant seem to solve the problem. has to be something with the site...

Tried tonight with IE and then it works, but i hate IE :(

please help with this issue.

Another Firefox user here, having the same problem with attachment names in the last couple of days.

I've moved all of the Firefox-related posts to this thread. Unfortunately, we do not have a solution at this time, since it's a problem with the Firefox browser and not something on our end. Feel free to use this thread to figure it out amongst yourselves, though.

Well, gave up firefox this site, went to IE, worked great for a while... then suddenly when each photo was finished loading it was just blank!!!! No photo!! tried compability view,,, no luck!

Again, it has to be something with the forum?

I use Firefox 38.0.5, which I believe is the latest incarnation of the browser. I remember downloading a zip file from here two days ago. It worked fine. Not sure why the rest of you are having problems.

Just updated to Firefox 39. Just downloaded a rar file. Worked fine.

Have firefox 39 and does not work
 

with photos anyway. seems like there's some inconsistency but there's still a problem.

I can download photos as well. They download as a jpg. I did have a similar problem to this using Chrome on OKCupid. It would download all of them as php, or something like that, that would only be viewable with Chrome. I think it's a security setting somewhere in the browser.

Also seeing the same thing. No changes on my machine either. Also only this site is affected. Hard to buy that it is a Firefox issue when no other sites are impacted.

It looks like Firefox pushed out an update on July 4th.
We are looking into what might be causing trouble with the newest version.
In the meantime, reverting to the previous version of Firefox will solve the problem of saving photos with correct file names.

Reverting back to Firefox 38.0.5 should provide a temporary fix for member's experiencing this problem.
NOTE: You may need to first disable automatic updates to prevent being forced to use Firefox 39.

Thanks alot! That worked great!

Well thats what i always say, if it aint broke dont fix it,,, hate updates

Use google chrome - everything works and it is way faster

When using Firefox
Change Attachment name to something else (ie:d2, s1 etc) save. This will save as php file. Rename php to jepg extension Image will now appear

error in spelling should be jpeg

I'm using a way older version of Firefox (5.0 for Mac!) and I occassionally have this problem on OCC of the files not down loading with the actual file name. Curiously, some times this self corrects after the down load is finished. Otherwise I rename the .php file to what I want. OCC is the greatest!!!

Thanks -- Firefox 38.0.05 works fine, and that is a much more useful practical suggestion than some of the others. I don't want to go too long before re-updating (to stop the constant reminders), however, so please post as soon as the Firefox 39.0 problem is fixed. Thanks.

For what it's worth, I've also had the mentioned problem with FF39.

My alternative browser is Opera. No problems with file names when downloading.

For those not familiar with Opera, it is built on top of the Chrome platform but has more privacy options than the Google version. It also uses more temp storage memory than FF which is why I prefer the later.

When you have expanded the image, right click on the page (not the actual image) and "save page as" . This saves the image with the correct filename and extension. Hope this makes sense.

someone buy coolperson a drink!

It is only this site that I get attachment.php as the filename when I try to save a pic. Something is wrong with this site.

I wish it was a simple fix. It's not just a problem on this site. It's a problem on all forums using the vBulletin software the way we do. However, it was triggered by a change in Firefox between versions 38 & 39 and it appears that they are now doing something non-standard across web browsers in the way they handle HTML headers.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not playing the blame game. I want to see this fixed as soon as possible and we are working on it on our end. I'll post here when we have a new solution.

Wow. This is a really simple solution to an annoying problem. Thanks coolperson.

Just a thought, perhaps coolperson's info should be put into a "sticky".
It might answer some questions before they get asked.

Firefox 40
 

Thanks for the advice on this thread, the 'attachment.php' issue had stumped me until I read this. Reverting to 38.0.5 worked just fine.

However I've just upgraded to Firefox 40 and can report, they've resolved the issue.

Thanks for the heads up on that! I immediately downloaded FF40, and the problem is indeed resolved.

Just accidentely upgraded firefox and the "image" issue was back :mad:

Tried using Crome, nope, SAME THING here... what the he** is this problem????

NO, this does NOT work at all!, Again this is only happening on this forum...

I use Opera to look at OCC and don't have any problems
