New repaint download links in Firefox

Post by kevinh »

I found that the download links for the new repaints aren't working properly, in Firefox at least. It offers to save them as HTML documents, even though hovering over the link shows that it is a ZIP file. If you override that by typing a .ZIP extension in the "save as" window then the files can be downloaded correctly. Older download links work correctly. The new download links work OK in Chrome.

Ok - did setup Firefox at my desk - looks like that every download is not working with latest Firefox - all other Browsers like IExplorer / Edge / Chrome / Vivaldi / Tor or Safari are working ...

OK - I found what happens here - it`s a well know Firefox bug - if there are spaces in the filename, Firefox only detects the first word without extension .....

Do we need to adjust file names or is there a function in FF that corrects the bug?
