Firefox won't open localhost files, it downloads the file instead and then won't show images, IE9 localhost works fine.

I have installed XAMPP to preview web pages locally. Everything works fine in IE9 but not in Firefox. When I load a localhost page Firefox downloads the file, then displays the downloaded file without showing images within the page.

So, in IE9 the address bar looks like this (correctly): http://localhost/my_sites/WebMaestro/Exercises/Lesson8/changeImage.html

In Firefox the address bar looks like this: file:///C:/Users/Rog/AppData/Local/Temp/changeImage-3.html

Are you using a Firefox extension like Auto Save Document  ? If you are using then you need to disable it. The documents are stored as html-text only (no embedded objects like pictures etc.) As a result the images don't appear on browser.

Thanks @xr417 but no, I'm not using Auto Save Document, the only active ones are Kaspersky, Firebug and New Tab Homepage.

Restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and try to load the page again.

Thanks @xr417, all add ons are disabled but exactly the same problem.

By the way, I also uninstalled and re-installed Firefox about 24 hours ago in an attempt to resolve the problem, cleared the caches, re-booted etc. etc.
