Downloaded file from Firefox but it is not opening in the internet explorer
1. I have java script file where it will download the content to a xml file . Below is the java script code
// "data:application/octet-stream," + encodeURIComponent(content);
var dataURL = "data:application/octet-stream," + encodeURIComponent(textToEncode);
window.location.assign(dataURL); // To change the current page
2. when we are trying to open downloaded xml file in internet explorer through the javascript it is throwing Type Error : Access denied . But, when we open the xml in notepad++ and re- save it is able to open in internet explorer.
below is java script code to open the xml file -
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load(fname); // fname refers to the file path where we downloaded
return (xmlDoc);
}

Try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref to false on the about:config page to suppress zone information (ADS).

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
