Downloading .docx files gets gibberish
I have Firefox installed 26.0 (although this has happened in previous versions). I lived all the previous questions on this problem, but none that I see. It goes to third-party access to my web site. I have an example of web page I have up that has the problem to http://flory.net/gabl/docx.htm.
When I click on the link on the page above (a 2007 office word .docx document), I get a page of gibberish as if it downloads the file as a text document. I went through all the steps I could find to support fix it to without success, including resetting all values by default, etc.. .doc works fine, but I can't find anything in the Options/Applications which will allow me to change/add info to handle .doc or .docx.
Unlike Internet Explorer, which looks at the beginning of the file itself to reach an opinion on its content-type, Firefox relies on the information provided by the web server. In this case, the server sends "text/plain" and Firefox that honors. The server must be updated to send a better content-type for DOCX files.

Docx download error "file cannot write to the cache.
I take an online class and a lot of my readings are in docx format. I have Windows 7, Office 2007 and that you have downloaded the xml Converter, but when I try to download these files, I get a Windows Internet Explorer error: "Could not download [filename] [site] the file could not be written to the cache." My Professor assured me that by downloading the conversion program is all what is needed and that other students were able to view them. If someone could please help me with this ASAP, I'm supposed to have these read files in the coming days.

Each launch I get a download message block as when the first one I tried to download this file
I tried to download this file some time ago and obtained the deadlock as on the picture message (quick translation is "blocked, probably contains a virus or other spy software"). After that each launch of Firefox, I get the same message. Cookes cleaning does not help. Also, I can't upload picture here. Or can? At the time of typing this animation download question plays infinitely
OK, thank you all for the asking. I closed all tabs and still got the message and I have such file as sessionstore.js in my browser profile directory, only the backups to it - sessionstore.bak and folder sessionstore-backups.
But now I just want to remove this object (Yes, I get another) to download history and pannals messages. So I'm confused - I think that, if she (any file download) has been blocked, then browser should remove them. -
I have the UI which downloads the file in file multiprt transfer in chuncks (blob file). It worked very well in a previous version of firefox when we send chuncks 10 MB for each ajax calls. But now in the last version of firefox, its get rejected for 10Mo chuncks with every call, but allowing only 4 KB be sent for each call. You guys could help me. I also tried with the Application (/ octectstream). It also works very well in all browsers.

Hi shelbyrn,
The quality of conversion is really depends on the quality of the original PDF file. Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert text and shape... | Adobe Community. Do you know what who or how the PDF was created?
You can have better luck by disabling OCR as described in this paper: How to disable the optical character recognition (O... |) Adobe Community. (Note, however, this is option is is not optimal if the PDF file is created from a scanned document, you wish to OCR enabled to convert the text from the image in the PDF file to editable text).
