[Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

This appears to be a problem with the way Firefox and LoTW talk to each other.  

First thing I checked was to make sure the Windoze setting "Hide extensions for known file types" was still unchecked.  It is. 

Downloading an .ADI file from Clublog shows the .ADI extension.
Downloading an .ADI with MS Edge (Win10) or Safari (IOS) shows the .ADI extension.  
Downloading files from other sites with Firefox shows the proper file extensions.

Now looking at Firefox release notes and settings to see if I can find out what has changed.  This just started with a recent Firefox update and I cannot figure out how to go back to an earlier version of FF for testing.  

In the grand scheme of things, it's trivial to type in .ADI when downloading the report.  The trouble is remembering to do it.

try looking for this. in the task bar search box for c:\  then in the window go to View>, then show >then File name extension. Put a check on file name Extension and see if that fixes the problem.
