Firefox 4.0 Beta 11 doesn't open aspx files (f.i. Morningstar website), older versions did. What to do?
When I try to access the Morningstar website the reply is:
Default aspx
dit is een: aspx File van: http://www.morningstar.nl Wat moet Firefox met dit bestand doen?
In versions prior to 11 I did not encounter this problem when I wanted to ccess the website.

I went to the Morningstar.com website and at the top of the webpage there is a Firefox message saying that Firefox has prevented a redirect to another page and asking if you want to allow.
Just saying that is what I am seeing at morningstar.com
Thanks for the answer, indeed Morningstar.com does not pose the problem, but Morningstar.nl does. The FF version in question does not recognize the default.aspx files.
No problems here with such a link:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Same problem with firefox 9.0.1. Cleared the cache and removed cookies but doesnt help. Also in safe mode can't open the www.morningstar.nl site. Some other .aspx sites work.
What is your Operating System and which Firefox version do you use?
We've seen this issue reported because servers didn't recognize the user agent and send files with a wrong MIME type because of that?
You can find the user agent on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
