Can't view image url on Firefox which I can on Chrome

more options

I am trying to copy a set of images which have urls such as the below:

http://www.halldis.com/resources/apt_resource_1564_1272014118921.1

These images display fine on Chrome, but not on Firefox, where I get a lot of funny characters.

The website is a third party website, and while they are letting us copy the images, I am not able to ask them to fix the problem.

Chosen solution

The servers sends the file as text/plain because it has a .1 file extension and not a recognized file extension like .jpg
It is always best to avoid problems like that and rename the file by adding .jpg


You can paste this in the location bar to see the image in this case

data:text/html,<img src="http://www.halldis.com/resources/apt_resource_1564_1272014118921.1">
