It's part of Wachovia's account download, we it uses a script to send you an .ofx file (XML file MS Money uses to import account information). When IE opens this, it asks you to save or open filename.ofx (which has a WindowsXP file association). When Mozilla opens it, filename.ofx.cgi is given (same file, same XML, no wrapper akaik). If I save the file and delete the .cgi at the end, I am them able to do my import. That's a workaround though. What we want is to be able to drop the .cgi during this download process. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the download link in Wachovia (a js just gives you the ofx file) 2. It has .cgi appended to it. Actual Results: The .cgi file was given (not the actual file, but the normal .ofx file with a .cgi extention appended to it) Expected Results: Dropped the .cgi and given me simply filename.ofx
I'm a bit out of my depth here, but i can think of two possible causes. 1) the server is configured to serve it as cgi and adds it that way. In that case it might be that IE [in conflict with standards!] overrides the file type and determines it as .ofx whereas Mozilla does what the server tells it to. 2) you may have a wrong entry in your HELPER APPLICATIONS part of the NAVIGATOR preferences. Check for entries with ofx or cgi. Third possible cause is that indeed there IS something wrong ;)
The third possible cause is the extension-fixup code in Windows versions of Mozilla. Please find the relevant bug and mark this duplicate.
