Details
This used to work and stopped working in Firefox at some point. If you try to navigate to: http://h2vx.com/vcf/tantek.com/#contact Firefox displays: " File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://h2vx.com/vcf/tantek.com/#contact. Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted. " This makes no sense for a couple of reasons: 1. "File not found" is nonsensical for an *http* request. Bad error message at best, mishandling of "http" URLs at worst, which means a possible security problem, so I'm checking the security box accordingly. 2. That URL works fine in both Safari and Opera. And used to work in Firefox. I've tried clearing my cache, cookies, and disabling all add-ons to no avail. Since this used to work, it's quite an annoying regression. Expected behavior: you get a download dialog for a .vcf.

Odd, wonder why they get an error and Safari doesn't. Perhaps I'll mention it to someone on Chrome team and see what they think of the problem.

Chrome and Safari have different networking backenda, AFAIK, so they have different behavior.

FWIW I just tried this on FF17 and it works as expected there. Feel free to (de)prioritize accordingly. Thanks.

The output of the server in case of the error would be useful. http://web-sniffer.net/ is handy for that

WFM on Latest Nightly and FF 19b3 on Mac OS 10.8.2. It could had been fixed by another bug's patch as long as Open Dialog appears automatically while navigating to: http://h2vx.com/vcf/tantek.com/#contact and http://h2vx.com/vcf/tantek.com/%23contact
