We have found an issue in Firefox which only occurs since this week's upgrade to Firefox 8:

On export, SDL WorldServer no longer creates an .xlz named after the Task. Instead it creates a file named Export, with no extension. We can open it in Desktop workbench provided we rename it to xlz.

Is there a fix for this?

Does anyone know about this? The software manufacturer says this comes from a change in the way Firefox enforces security with the name of the files downloaded. They are not able to provide advice on whether this is a setting that can be altered in Firefox, and are just asking us to use a workaround (renaming the file to .xlz manually each time)
