I might have turned on the Acrobat feature which resulted in downloaded .asp files being opened by Acrobat. For instance http://www.projectiondesign.com/admin/c ... ileID=1176
Is that a way to reset Firefox back to its original factory settings. I have tried to uninstall and install Firefox but it did not help.
Kindly assist and thanks for your patience.

If you want to reset everything then create a new profile:
Create a New Profile
Migrate/Copy Files to a New Profile
Bookmarks: bookmarks.html
Passwords: signons.txt and key3.db
Saved Forms: formhistory.dat
Site permissions: hostperm.1

Hi dickvl
Thanks for your advice. I have since followed your instructions and deleted the old default and created a new profile.
However, each file I download from this http://www.projectiondesign.com/Default.asp?CatID=1258 still always appears as a GetImg.asp file when downloaded to my desktop and is always opened by Acrobat, have I missed any steps ?
I like Firefox for the speed and hope to solve this downloading problem. Do you think a proper and complete UNinstall would help ?
Thanks for your quick advice.

I get a zip file (Flash) with the first link and application/vnd.ms-excel files with the second.
Could it be your firewall or an anti-virus program that is changing some headers?
Are you using a proxy?
GetImg.asp?FileID=1176 should give a respons: sending post data to the server and waiting for an answer (MIME type content header) to let Fx know what to do with that file.

Its probably a redirect - GetImg.asp, the target of the link, probably redirects to the zip file. By left-clicking Firefox loads GetImg.asp which then triggers the download of the zip file. By right-clicking Firefox saves GetImg.asp.
