Mozilla Firefox File Type Issue

Question

I created an application in vb.net for uploading and downloading a file. On IE and Chrome, it is successfully open with correct extension on clicking at link. But on Mozilla firefox, It is always open in HTML format.

enter image description here

Do I need to change something in the Mozilla Firefox or in my code? It is doing right in Chrome and IE. File can be of any type(.docx,.pdf,.txt).Prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Are you saying the “Open with” dropdown should default to “Excel” instead of “Firefox”? — Ry-, Jan 09 '14 at 22:10
You should post the code you're using to do this - it's probably a content-type issue. — , Jan 09 '14 at 22:12

You need to add the Content-Disposition header to the response. Your server side code should look something like:

Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/CSV"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename="" + filename + ".csv"")
...

White spaces shouldn't matter in file names, the above answer was posted as an accepted answer on Jan 9th as the correct response. – Andrew Jun 25 '14 at 21:16
