276164 - .htm extension appended on downloading file

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Gordon]

OK,

Seriously...  If you could just add the ability to input a new file type into
the download manager other than HTM I'd and millions of other developers would
be happy, very happy.  It's been my number one complaint of all time, having to
rename file extension after download to correct them.  Sometimes I go so blazing
fast I don't remember and need to do it again, which sucks.  If you can
implement an add any file type to the download manager you'll be number one for
sure.

Let the user decide if a .php or .txt or .js should be saved as such, not as
xxx.php.htm

Thanks in Advance

PS:  It's been the download manager that I've suffered the most, everthing else
ROCKS!!!  YOU'RE THE BEST.  I'll be recommending your browser on all my sites
and to all my clients.  Let's continue to make it #1 & Take Back the Web

This might also be a dupe of one of the bug 160454 dependencies.

Over to File Handling.

Firefox treats this as non-html file because it doesn't have the DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML...etc tag on the page. So it thinks of it as something
other than a HTML file, so as for firefox fixing this anytime soon...don't hope
for it.
