Firefox 8.0.x does not like our OWA (attachment.ashx)

UGA OIT says, there is a problem with attachments being viewed by the outlook web email system and Firefox 8. See below. Here are the three workarounds: 1) Right-clicking and renaming the attachment with the proper name and extension. 2) Revert to Firefox 7. 3) Use another browser.

Outlook Web Access sends an illegal Content-Dispositon header to Firefox. This is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. Firefox 9 will have a workaround for this so that Microsoft has time to fix their software.

You can help us by sending a complaint to Microsoft and tell them that their software is broken.
