Firefox problem with aspx pages

Post by ChrisGrenard »

Some sites, like www.factcheck.org are giving me trouble in firefox. They use a format called "*.aspx" that firefox trieds to download. Anybody else have this problem, or know of a solution?

I'm using the version 1.0 Preview Release of Firefox and I have no problems with factcheck or, for example Microsoft Windows Media, which is an *.aspx home page.

Are you using an older version of Firefox?

I'm also using the 1.0PR, and the factcheck site comes in without a hitch, as far as I can tell.

Factcheck seems to work fine for me with Firefox 0.9.3.

I'm using the .9 version of Firefox, no problems here.

An .aspx page is the .NET version of an ASP -- Active Server Page. The code it generates is non-standard HTML, so maybe an older version of Firefox would have some problems rendering it.

Firefox (or any browser) doesn't rely on the file extension of a page to render it, but the header information sent by the server. Unfortantely, Microsoft doesn't really care that the code doesn't fully meet standards (as long as it works on IE).
