Downloading a pdf file from javascript() window does not work
PDF download/view works fine where the link points to actual pdf file. But I have problem downloading/viewing pdf files that are loaded using javascript(), e.g. bank statements and such. When I click a link FF downloads a file which either has no extension or has a different one (not .pdf).
Later I realized that I can manually rename the downloaded file to insert .pdf extension and open it in reader.
How can I solve this? I don't have this problem when using IE or Chrome.
Thanks

Could you try a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

Thanks Debapriyo, the diagnostic approach helped. Probably one of the extension somehow got corrupted and created the problem.
Luckily, I use FF Sync, so all my extensions and configurations got re-installed automatically, except for "recognize this device" for some sites.
