Weird browser issue

<< < (2/2)

fcueto:
I had the exact same issue today, firefox 104 (latest release) adds .mjr extension when I download an executable file on some web site (you can try this example: https://www.2brightsparks.com/assets/software/SyncBackPro64_Setup.exe)


The above fix doesn't work anymore because Mimetypes.rdf has been replaced with handlers.json
Try editing this file and replace (or add) the mjr extension with exe.

Problem solved

I suspect that JRiver MC creates a bogus mimetype for "application/x-msdos-program", this should be corrected.

JimH:
Please ask Firefox to stop doing this.

zybex:
MC does not create the mime type, it's just that the JRiver server (wrongly) declares that the MJR download is of that legacy type. Firefox then sometimes learns that all executables are now to be called .MJR  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://mimeapplication.net/x-msdos-program

As mentioned in the other thread, JRiver should change the mimetype to application/octet-stream, which is the proper identification for a binary file.
