Firefox of old used to have a special way of handling download header traffic and so it required fancy coding to make it work properly. Firefox 7+ has gone to the way of the other browsers in handling download requests and so it was a code issue.

The following line of code was changed from: 

  1. // Different browsers like different standards...
  2. 	if ($context['browser']['is_firefox'])
  3. 		header('Content-Disposition: ' . $disposition . '; filename*="UTF-8\'\'' . preg_replace('~&#(\d{3,8});~e', '$fixchar(\'$1\')', $utf8name) . '"');

To the following: 

  1. // Different browsers like different standards...
  2. 	if ($context['browser']['is_firefox'])
  3. 		header('Content-Disposition: ' . $disposition . '; filename*=UTF-8\'\'' . str_replace(' ', '%20', preg_replace('~&#(\d{3,8});~e', '$fixchar(\'$1\')', $utf8name)));
