Hi! I've recently found an issue with VirtualBox Extension Pack download in Firefox. Instead of downloading the file, it just shows me a web page with a lot of gibberish, like its trying to display the content of the file itself. I'm using Windows 11 and no extensions in Firefox. The only way i have for the moment to download that file is through Edge. Can you tell me why this happens? Here's the link: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.1.12/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.12.vbox-extpack Thank you and best regards.
