Firefox misrecognising php files

posts: 18

I've discovered a problem that's almost certainly due to Firefox, and wonder if anyone else has seen it, and solved it.

On one of my Firefox installations, browsing to some tiki pages results in an attempt to download a file. In my other FF installations, things work fine.

For example, on FF installation A, when I browse to .../tiki-listpages.php, FF attempts to download a file of that name. But on FF installation B, the page opens as expected.

So FF installation A misrecognises some php files, and I suppose I've got a setting or an extension that's responsible.

Before I go disabling extensions etc, I would like to hear if this is a known problem and has a ready solution. Have you seen it?

Browsers do not look at the file extensions, they look at the Mime type declared in the page header. For all pages in tiki, that would be text/html and is sent independently from which browser is calling the page. You might try to search for this issue on the mozilla support site or simply try re-installing the browser.

Thanks for the pointers.

One of the peculiarities is that it doesn't do it with every page.

Try clearing your cookies. If it still does it, try with another browser on the same machine. It could be related to your system language or timezone.

If you don't find, enable error reporting (see the Debug_Mode_Enabled profile).
