Firefox does not add file extension on files when saving

sunfish62

When I ask to save a file, the save dialog box in Firefox deletes the file extension (e.g., "doc", "pdf", "ofx") from the filename, and I must manually add it back. Prior versions did not behave this way.

You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
