[Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension

[contest at oz0j.dk]

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

Agree, and the error is also in Windows 11 and Firefox version 102, 64 bit.

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.
