Over the last couple of days, I get the following message when on Neopets and clicking various links: "You have chosen to open: xxx.phtml which is a: Plain text from: http://www.neopets.com. What should Firefox do with this file?"

I've been through Firefox's standard support page and googled it. No luck. Anyone know how to stop this?

    Is that on every link you go to on neopets?

    No, but I haven't noticed any pattern. If I cancel and then click the link again, it usually loads as normal.

    I use firefox for browing on Neopets too. With me it has been loading up blank pages a lot of lately. Perhaps it does the same for you, but with you it asks to open it up first? Not certain, though.

    It's been glitchy since sunday - I use chrome and it's still going to blank pages this morning.

    Usually I just reload the address a few times and then it starts working again

    I'm getting it for both Firefox AND Chrome. Well, for Firefox it loads a blank page, for Chrome, it loads some weird that doesn't exist thing. If I press reload, it works fine. They really need to fix their servers.... =(

    Yeah, Neopets took a holiday and the site went bonkers.

    Someone on the Neoboards yesterday had the same problem and was crying that she had a virus. She was also running Ubuntu. XD

    I don't notice this on Firefox but on IE, the page keeps not loading everyone one in three pages unless I reload it; could that have anything to do with it? Neopets is just having a bad server right now for me.

    I guess it's neopets servers' issue, since everyone seems to be loading blank pages in every type of browser.

    I'm using firefox but I haven't been having the problem you've been getting.. just blank pages. Still annoying though, but hopefully itll be fixed when they get back.

    It's on Neopets' side so it'll continue until they bother fixing it. :/

    Probably not until after the holiday, since there's no indication that it's going away today.

    I also wondered the same thing and so I decided to come here and ask but now I realize that there is already a post about it.

    Apparently, according to me they told me and read here, is a bug in neopets,
    I hopefully their fix soon

    because I usually move very quickly through the pages of neopets and every minute that refresh is rather annoying: P
