Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension
Another data point, if anyone is collecting them I am using the following versions and I am NOT having this problem: Firefox 102.0.1, 64-bit Windows 10 Home Version 21H1, Build 19043.1826 Larry K5RK -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of cont...@oz0j.dk Sent: Monday, July 18, 2022 10:57 PM To: 'Mike Cizek W0VTT' ; 'Wayne M' ; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension -> This appears to be a problem with the way Firefox and LoTW talk to -> each other.

Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension
Larry K5RK and I are using the same version of Firefox: 102.0.1, 64 bit My version of Win10 is slightly newer: Version 21H2; build # 19044.1826 Installing the Content-Type Fixer in Firefox cured the problem for me. Thanks to ON5GM. None of this explains why the ADI extension is stripped when downloading from LoTW but not from Clublog or other sites. 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Larry Burke Sent: Tuesday, 19 July, 2022 06:21 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension Another data point, if anyone is collecting them I am using the following versions and I am NOT having this problem: Firefox 102.0.1, 64-bit Windows 10 Home Version 21H1, Build 19043.1826 Larry K5RK -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of cont...@oz0j.dk Sent: Monday, July 18, 2022 10:57 PM To: 'Mike Cizek W0VTT' ; 'Wayne M' ; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension -> This appears to be a problem with the way Firefox and LoTW talk to -> each other.

Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension
The strange is, that the error comes with Firefox version 102.x. I have tried 4 different PCs with Windows 10 and 11 and from different QTHs. All with the same problem. However, other Danish ham amateurs does not have the same problem with the same version of Firefox running Windows 10. >From a Danish forum another Danish ham amateur found this https://www.qwant.com/?q=firefox+download+without+file+extensions&t=web https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox102-files-are-downloaded-w ithout-extension/td-p/8932 and some other links with the same issue. I guess it will be fixed with a future update of Firefox. 73, Joe, OZ0J -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net På vegne af Mike Cizek W0VTT Sendt: 19. juli 2022 14:02 Til: 'Larry Burke' ; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Emne: Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension Larry K5RK and I are using the same version of Firefox: 102.0.1, 64 bit My version of Win10 is slightly newer: Version 21H2; build # 19044.1826 Installing the Content-Type Fixer in Firefox cured the problem for me.
