I have a Wikipedia OTRS ticket related to someone who
keeps getting
"Download this file" dialogs when they go to Wikipedia pages...
[snip]
Has anyone seen behavior like this before?
[snip]
I have seen it happen a couple of times, on various pages.
I'm using Ubuntu and Firefox, various versions of both (ubuntu
versions available during past 2-3 years, and the versions of firefox
in the main ubuntu package repositories)
I've only seen it happen about 10-15 times in the past 2-3 years, so
it doesn't happen regularly enough for me to figure out what exactly
is going on. I can never reproduce when I want to.
I sometimes wonder if it's something to do with my connection being
interrupted, and the page partially downloaded (perhaps only part of
the headers?)
I really don't know much about this area though, so this is a stab in
the dark, and shouldn't be relied upon.
