Firefox update cant download .bin files - precisely know
Fisheye Support
Symptoms
A file has its proper extension within fisheye. For example fisheye displays the file name www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar
If you right click on the link to download and choose "copy link location" and paste this location to a new browser window, you can see it is the correct link for the www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar file, e.g. it looks like .
However when you try and download the file via IE, the file is downloaded as www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar The file won't open, because its not a zip, hence you have to rename the file back to www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar before you can open it correctly.
If you use Firefox, then the file downloads as www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar file as expected.
Cause
This looks like a bug within IE, as IE for some reasons interprets certain files as .zip.
Other IE users have had similar problems, see this and this page.
Resolution
User Firefox when attempting to download these files, or when you are saving the file, rename to the proper extension.
