You'll probably have to mention a few sites, those that work and those that don't. Probably the reason is MIME type descriptions from the site. A website is supposed to *describe* the type of data that you're going to receive (and I mean with HTTP headers; the filenames, or suffixes at the end of them, aren't to be paid attention to). You may find that the sites that work right are sending the proper MIME type, and your system is palming the data off to the preferred application to handle it. And, with the sites that don't, you'll end up downloading the data for you to handle, yourself. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
