PHP window

When clicking on links to threads and forums I occasionally get the following Pop-uo window asking what I'd like to do.Anyone else getting this??

Win98SE ,FireFox 1.0.4

I frequent many other forums HWC etc... and VDr is the only site this happens on.

wonderinguy34--Looks like a bug in Firefox. Note that the Address line entries for all the VDr threads have "showthread.php" in the URL's. So I would think this popup is harmless and just stating the obvious, though a nuisance to click off.
Perhaps you have not associated .php files with whatever the executable for php is in Firefox. And so you are being asked whether you want to use that program.

Have you had any problems when you clicked OK?

That's a Firefox message box. It's a setting in your browser you need to adjust regarding the way it handles files. I've seen it before in FF. Has nothing to do with any site.

It doesn't always happens and when it does I just close the message and reclick the link and then it works.I'll check out that link .

Its no "Problem" but just a glitch and I was wondering if anyone else was having similar results.
Any idea what setting ??? This is the only message board it happens on,but I'm not positive the others I visit are PHP or Vbulletin.I'll turn off "adblock " and NIS in turn and see if either of those are the culprits.I just seems weird that it just started ,because I haven't updated or installed any NEW Software that I would normally associate with anomalies.
