Ensuring .PHP files are opened by FireFox correctly.

[SealLion]

It seems to me that every time I cruise onto a Gazelle-based tracker, especially of most recent times, I get the following:






this only occurs on gazelle-based sites, Never here or there or anywhere else on the internet. Not even here on SBI.....only Gazelle based tracker site....so far anyways.


Instead of having FF opening the web pages correctly, it is asking me what to do.

Basically, I want FF to open web pages just like it always does rather than have me ask it what to do.

Some of the information by googling is that I"ve gathered is that it is a server problem on the tracker site.


There's got to be a better way to solve this other than to disable extensions and see which on is interfering ( I've already done that with no conclusive results).


It's not the version of FF, either.
This much I know as even having gone to former versions of FF have not solved this problem.

Any other folks have found this problem while visiting gAzelle-based sites and maybe found a solution??

My guess is that for some reason your Firefox doesn't know those PHPs are actually HTML documents it needs to render. As Gazelle trackers work fine here, it's definitely a problem on your side. Go to Options -> Applications and check whether there are any entries for PHP files.

Doing a clean install/deleting and recreating your profile would be the best, although it can be time-consuming.

all gazelle trackers ?
if this isn't on all sites then
its a server-side problem

basically there is a bug on the server which forces the download of PHP files instead of processing them..
