attempt to download files XXXX.ciw (from WebofScience) gets the error message

Download Error /users/...xxx.ciw could not be opened because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk...

Saving to disk did not provide a file recognizable by EndNote. All of this worked with Safari.

Thanks for the tip. I had to trash the mime.types.rdf file, but that did the job.

You might try https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Unable%20to%20download%20or%20save%20files?s=firefox+download+unknown+error&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_choose-a-valid-download-folder-in-safari-preferences or some of the other suggestions on that article.
