Need Help??

in reply to [OT] How to prevent my browser trying to download instead of display?

with a content-type of text/x-chdr I'm guessing most browsers don't know how to handle that type and do the sane option of downloading.

with a content-type of text/x-chdr Thanks derby. With that salient piece of information, it was trivial to tell both versions of Opera I use to just display the file. I can't find a similar option in Firefox; but I only use that as a last resort anyway. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. I'm with torvalds on this Agile (and TDD) debunked I told'em LLVM was the way to go. But did they listen!	[reply]

Yeah, some things are really stupid in firefox Its an open bug since 2000 57342 – Add "View as Text/HTML/..." option for unknown mime content-type Workaround is install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/view-as-text/reviews/?src=api then use right click context menu	[reply]

Thanks anon. The add-on fixed up Firefox.
