.zip files and Firefox

megapixel67 · #1 09-30-2006, 08:01 PM

Hello,

When downloading .zip files with Firefox, the file has a .php extension and displays with a small WMP icon. The Extract Files function is not present on the context menu. Needless to say, I cannot open them. The Download Actions within Firefox does not list a .zip extension, so perhaps this is the source of my troubles.

With IE there are no difficulties.

If anyone can help me resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

When you click on the file to download it and the save file dialogue appears just rename it to *.zip

That usually works for me.
