I've tried different browsers, Safari and Internet Explorer. I've tried on a Mac and a PC. The problems seems to only occur on FireFox, whether on a PC or a Mac. The problem also seems to be on the iPhone.

Customers are trying to go directly to a link on my website: www.madeimages.com/Photography and www.madeimages.com/Marketing (These are the only two that I have come across after a small search).

When the page seems as if it's about to load, a pop up appears saying:

You have chosen to open PHOTOGRAPHY which is a: Untyped Binary Data from http://www.madeimages.com Would you like to save this file?

I called Yahoo Small Business, my hosting site and they don't seem to have anything wrong on their end.

I am in Germany and have talked to customers loading the site from military bases locally, and I've asked colleagues in the states to load the site and they are all getting the same problem.

Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it? Is there something on these pages that isn't recognized by FireFox?

The server doesn't recognize that it is an HTML file because you didn't add a file extension and thus sends the files as application/octet-stream.

You can add a HTML extension to the names to correct that.

Edit: I just noticed that those links already exist, so users just need to use the proper links
