Firefox adds xls extension when downloading excel files from problem

My problem is this.
I have this excel report file that I crafted using PHPExcel for my php application. I don’t have any problem accessing the file from my ubuntu machine with major browsers. But from my windows box, FF will add this .xls extension on top of my file name [myreport.xlsx becomes myreport.xlsx.xls] and this would confuse windows on how to create and will finally decide to open it as binary gibberish texts.
The solution is to assign the correct MIME type for the xlsx extension. I got that gem from here

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

jQuery bind/unbind not working on firefox or in some other browsers

So, your jQuery bind is working OK on all browsers and not in firefox?

At least in my case, it worked on chrome and not on FF.

Let me put it using example:

let’s say we want to assign click event to some item with id = ‘bindable’


$('#bindable').bind('click', function(){
      alert ('From the truth and search of truth, I would prefer the later..');
});

this snippet works fine in chrome and others. but in firefox it is NOT.

The culprit is in passing the ‘event’


$('#bindable').bind('click', function(event){//look mom, i pass the event here..
      alert ('From the truth and search of truth, I would prefer the later..');
});
