save .txt files
Firefox is saving files without the extension, I think. .txt files. FF seems to save them with "File" in the extension column. It does this even if .txt is marked in the Save File As dialogue box.
In the attached image it is the "ddddd" or look for the extension File.
If I rename this file with a .txt it is then usable in my addon. (the addon is Autofill Magic, hereafter AFM if i have to mention it again)
Something is causing this to happen on both my desktop and my portable version. When it happened on my desktop I figured it was another addon interacting with AFM. I no longer think that.
I downloaded a portable FireFox version and installed it into Drop Box and I run it from there. I have not added any extensions, addons, anything to that copy and it has started doing it.
Another thing, I read an article by Pareto Logic on file extensions. It said that file naming protocols can get messed up by conflicts within the registry. I ran a scan of my registry with Freemium Utilities. It did its thing and fixed a bunch of errors and my desktop FireFox began naming the files correctly. I mention this because I don't think the portable FireFox version would use my registry to run. Also, because I ran another scan and fixed all the problems again and it did not fix the portable apps file naming problem.
I need to get this fixed if possible. Thanks to everyone who takes time to consider this problem of mine. Especial thanks to those who take a stab at helping.
.......................... Don't be alarmed by the file names. I am not a drug dealer. Those files are tear sheets for people in recovery.

Did you check the content of the dddddd file?
The "ddddd" file has nothing in it so no BUT for your question I have renamed several others and they all had the right information. they just needed to be "renamed" and given the .txt and they were fine.
You may have to check the content in such a case in a hex viewer utility if a normal text editor doesn't show anything as the file might contain only unprintable characters.
The content is fine. As soon as I change the file extension to .txt by renaming the document it becomes usable by the addon AFM and it is readable as a .txt file just by opening it and seeing it with normal eyes.
Sorry, I think I garbled up my first answer.
the information in the files is fine. they are just named (or not named) properly

No one knows why this might be happening.
Try to rename/remove the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
You can check specific file extension keys (e.g. .txt) in the registry with the registry editor.
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xxx
You can check a possibly linked MIME type in the MIME Database registry key.
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\
All changes that you make in the registry editor are applied instantly and that there is no undo possible. You can export key(s) in the registry editor before making changes. If you are not comfortable with editing the Windows registry then it is best to skip editing registry keys.
