My client has a website with a link to their Excel price sheet. The link is below. When I click on the file I am able to save to my computer or open it up to view. When they click on the link it opens up into an unreadable web page of special codes. I have sent a screen shot of it. They are using Windows 10, Excel excel 14.0.7166.5000 32 bit.

The server doesn't send the file with the correct content type, so Firefox opens it in a browser tab instead.

You will have to use "Save Page As" to save the page with the correct file extension, so you can open the file with the correct application.

Thank you for such a quick reply! This is my client who lives in Chicago. I have my office in Virginia and am able to open up the file successfully from my Firefox. So it's a server problem?

I may be a little confused. The web server where the website is hosted may be the problem? Is this the web server you are referring to? Again, I am able to open just fine from my business computer in Virginia using Firefox

I checked the HTTP response headers with Live Http Headers and that shows that the Excel file is send as text/plain.

Firefox will always open files send as text/plain in a browser tab.
