octet error when browsing with firefox. please help.
I have developed a website but I cannot open it with firefox. When I try the URL in FF I receive a dialog box with the following message:

you have chosen to open

which is a: application/octet-stream
from http://macrosynch.com

what should firefox do with this file?
open with
save to disk



Does anyone have any clue? How can I avoid causing this error in my website?

Thank you in advance.

This is a browser issue, not IIS.

You probably have some ActiveX or other object in your web page code. Firefox and other non-IE browsers can't use ActiveX.

Let me rephrase. I suspect there is a problem with your web content or programming, not with the web server that is serving up your web.
