How Does Your Site Appear in Firefox?

Sometime ago, I received several email complaints that links in my newsletter and on the site were triggering DOWNLOADS of the linked pages to a “temporary directory” instead of opening NPT in the Firefox web browser.

This is what it looked like:

Note, this was ONLY happening in Firefox.

The links were all formatted correctly so I spent a number of hours going back and forth with different folks, then on the Firefox support forum. None of the suggested solutions worked.

Finally, I passed it on to Steve Hetrick, the braniac over a DataWebPro who runs my servers, and he had it resolved lickety-split.

Solution – he added the following line of code to my .htaccess file.

Action application/x-httpd-php “/php/php-cgi.exe

I was lucky to get those comments from site visitors about the Firefox issues, otherwise I wouldn't have known.

Have you checked your site in the Firefox browser lately?

Cheers,
Ros
