Since updating to FF 5 I cannot download pdf docs from my online banking site (www.bankwest.com.au) I have spent 2 hours with their customer support and they just blame FF and tell me to use IE

I have made all changes in the articles with no change to the problem. I can download the files using IE.

I just looked at that site. They are sending PDF forms without an extension added to the filenames. That could be why you are having a problem. I was able to download them, add the extension .pdf to them, and open them with a PDF reader. Does Windows 7 refuse to download files with no extensions? I have no way of telling that, because I use Macs.

Have tried all suggestions from mha007 - all settings were set to these already - still no change. Maybe finitarry is correct but why does IE work?
