Firefox downloads a ".php" file when I browse certain websites. I'm on a Mac and running OS X 10.6.4

Firefox is automatically downloading ".php" files when I browse certain websites.
Without permission, it just simply downloads the files and prompts me to indicate the program I would like to open the file with.
I work for a school district and Firefox 4 was installed in 4 other computers and it did the same thing with all of them.
I then reverted to the previous version of Firefox and continued to have the same problem.
Please advise

Hold down the shift key when you launch an app in Lion to "discard previous windows".

  • My mac downloads aspx files when i browse?

    Hi,
    When I browse certain pages on the internet, Safari downloads .aspx files to my default download destination .. any idea why? These files are annoying as they accumulate and I have to delete them every time I surf ..

    Lots of information on aspx files here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET
    ASP.NET pages, known officially as "web forms", are the main building block for application development.[8] Web forms are contained in files with an ASPX extension; in programming jargon, these files typically contain static (X)HTML markup, as well as markup defining server-side Web Controls and User Controls where the developers place all the required static and dynamic content for the web page. Additionally, dynamic code which runs on the server can be placed in a page within a block <% -- dynamic code -- %> which is similar to other web development technologies such as PHP, JSP, and ASP, but this practice is generally discouraged except for the purposes of data binding since it requires more calls when rendering the page.

  • Execute a php file when window closed... onunload

    i wish to find a way to run a php file when the window is
    closed using the <body onunload="....">
    does anyone know how i can do this?
    any suggestions?
    thanks

    thanks for the responses.
    But the design is like that.Then it needs to be fixed.
    I think this is why there's a shortage of people to write computer applications, they are all wasting their time struggling to implement bad designs.
    its a scheduler to be run on tomcat where we interact
    with the running batch files and can't be changed.A scheduler in Tomcat? Why run a scheduler in an application server?
    any help is appreciated.
    I tried to execute the batch file from servlet it
    runs , but i see the cmd.exe in windows task manager
    and need a dos box open.
    Any ideas?If you need a DOS box open then you need a signed-on user. So here's my patch:
    1. Write an application that listens for messages from this Tomcat scheduler, and when it receives those messages it does something in a DOS box.
    2. Have somebody sign on to the server and run that application.
    3. Change the Tomcat scheduler to send messages to that application instead of trying to actually run it.
    It's up to you what kind of messages you should send. There are plenty of choices.

    iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
    iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
    A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
    As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Firefox won't start,but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running. What is the problem?

    Firefox will not open, but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running and must be forced quit. Once I rebute the computer it opens but is very slow and hang up on many web pages. I have reinstalled it with little help. In contrast, Windows Internet Explorer works fine.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?<br />
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.<br />

  • HT201263 I downloaded the update, but when it was restoring, it was unable to do so and my phone is now stuck at the Apple Logo. What do I do?

    I downloaded the update, but when it was restoring, it was unable to do so and my phone is now stuck at the Apple Logo.
    It used to show the iTunes and USB but now it's just the Apple Logo, and no matter what I do, it won't show the device on my iTunes. What is wrong with it and what should I do?

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

  • Why am I getting a "Opening tweet_button.html" pop-up when I open certain websites?

    Just downloaded new Firefox version & when I open certain websites I get a message saying I'm attempting to open a tweet_box.html (which I am not, I'm just opening pages from my bookmarks), and do I want to open or save it. Multiple boxes open for each site (3-5). Not sure where to turn this off??

    I noticed this after the 4.0.1 update. I also have people in my office reporting the problem on a multitude of computer systems all using 4.0.1. I've confirmed it's not any extensions while loading a fresh Windows 7 SP1 on a test box and loading 4.0.1. 4.0 doesn't appear to be having this issue. I tried changing the html (aspx) file to be opened with Firefox, it ended up opening 60 tabs and crashing the browser. However, I no longer get the popups after restoring my session. Though the tweet_button.html is not loading on the page correctly.

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!
