aloha kreuzfeuer,

so i was wondering if anybody could help me out with the following:

like 1 week ago i have updated my firefox to the 6.0 verison. sometimes if i want to download a file a new tab is opening with some weirds signs. i had it allready here on crossfire as i wanted to download the pirates.pk3 file in kevlars post he did a few days before and i have the same problem with downloading the nnscript on their page.

is there anything in the options that i have missed? i'be googled allready but couldnt find any proper info.

screeni:

Change the type to "All files" and replace the file extension with .pk3 or .exe or whatever it is supposed to be.

And turn off to hide extensions for known file types so you can actually see that it was simply named nnscript.exe.txt and all you had to do was rename the file by removing .txt from it.

i think you have firefox associated with .pk3-s, change it to winrar or smtn

Go to Options -> Applications and make sure you have .pk3 (or Compressed folder) set to "Always ask".

Alternatively, ctrl-S or File - Save as.
