When I visit http://www.lynda.com/ Firefox insists on downloading an ASPX file instead of just going to the website.

All that happens is that it downloads the aspx file, and shows a blank screen.

(using Samsung S5 with the latest Android OS as of January 19, 2015).

This is an issue with the Lynda website. We have tried to reach out to them about their incorrect configuration but have not had any success it getting them to fix the problem.

If you have a moment please report that their site is broken on Firefox for Android. http://m.lynda.com/about/sitefeedback

Thanks! I have filed a bug report with them, but you may want to investigate why this issue only presents itself on Firefox because it doesn't affect IE, Safari or Chrome.

Thanks!

They send us a file meant for a non-smartphone browser. The site sends us garbage, we are not able to display it so the file is downloaded.

Thanks! I hope they resolve it. I've been looking forward to using Firefox on my new 'Droid phone, but this is one of the sites I use a lot lately.

Plus, I'm hoping it works with the Roku support that was recently put into the browser.

Thank you!
