You must tell it better, cause its difficult to understand the exact meaning of "properly" if you dont say it. You must tell us what its really happening.

Changed status to New because this bug affects me too.

Description: some sites using dynamically-generated pages (e.g. tesco.com) have links to pages named '*.aspx' or '*.asp'. These pages never open properly in my Firefox 3.0.5 ('Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0), though they open fine in Firefox 2.0.1 in Wine. Firefox 2.0 on Linux can open these pages too. The browsers offers to save the page instead of opening it.

http://direct.tesco.com/homepage/computingphones.aspx works just fine for me...

Try the grocery/home delivery section. It could be that you have to sign in for this to occur.

i still cannot reproduce. can you provide some more detailled information?

Since my Firefox was upgraded to 3.0.7, this problem has not recurred. I'm sorry but I lack the technical expertise to be able to describe what is going on 'behind the scenes' when I click one of these links; all I know is that for some sites, pages are seen by the browser as being objects to be downloaded, rather than displayed.

i am closing the report as it seems to be no longer reproducible. feel free to reopen or report a new bug when experiencing any problems!

Scrolling through Slashdot can cause box-like artifacts to appear in the text, obscuring it. That's one instance of "not properly."

Also, blog pages do not update sometimes. I.e., I add a new entry to my blog at blogspot, it seems fine, then I navigate away to an unrelated page. When I come back to my blog, I have to click the refresh button before changes appear. That's another instance of "not properly."

Also, window decoration randomly disappears, and only selecting a new decorator through Compiz will bring it back. That's "not proper," either.
