User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 When I try to download and install a program, using Mozilla.org, or Netscape for that matter, the file has ".dwg" added on after the ".exe". The file icon is the apple with a bite out of it wihin a box, and the program that is matched to it is a graphics viewer. Trying to run the program results in a screen saying that the file is not the correct type to be opened by that program. Since the file is listed on the download site as an exe file, it must follow that the .dwg is being added at my end. I can download with IE with no problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
->Networking:File Possibly a dup of bug 65827. If you would supply a URL where you were seeing this problem, that would help.
