Hi I am tearing my hair out as some images like the one attached to this thread

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...html#post15283

just refuse to 'open' for me...a dialogue box always pops up asking where I wanna save the image. Other sites (and sometimes .PNG images here) offer the choice of what I want to do.

I do not have an entry for .PNG in tools>options>content>man age file types in Firefox so should be prompted each time.

Cheers.

I wonder if it might be something to do with the board incorrectly tagging the Mime type but am no expert in that area.

I use IE and he he asks me if I want to open.... its normal... I could choose not to be asked..

Yea, Ihate that about FF. Does it in Safari, too for png's.

Thing is its not all .PNG's which is why I wondered if its an incorrectly set MIME type or something? Drives me potty :mad: or I wouldn't bother mentioning it.

Opens normally for me in IE.

OK kinda fixed it. Suspecting it was to do with mime types I downloaded a FF plugin called Mime edit.

I set unknown/unknown to always ask and its fine! I suspect you can do it with FF's hidden config stuff but as I cant even remember to get in there I didn't explore that.

I wonder if it was another plugin that messed things up. My hunch is 'flash got'.

I have similar experiences with FF. It is very inconsistent at times.

Its most likely a FireFox issue. I cant see how our system would affect that. Its working fine for me in Opera and IE.
