Users are reporting unusual file extensions being tagged on to .exe file names during download, if the file was served with

Content-Type: application/x-msdos-program

These are the two I've seen so far:

.bin - https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1381232

.mjr - https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/downloads-missing-file-type-extension/m-p/9175/highlight/true#M3849

I don't know how to replicate this for testing.

I think we probably just dupe this to bug 1772140, there doesn't seem to be much point tracking it separately.
