Curious if this "glitch" can this be fixed or at least explained to me?

Often someone posts video clips of a MOC or event and I want to directly save
them to my drive.

When I want to save a direct link using "save link as" (for example - someone's posted .mov) from a post on Lugnet while using Firefox as my browser I'm prompted with a download titled jump.cgi   which of course is not the movie file I'm attempting to download.

If I open the exact same post with Internet Exploder, errr Explorer using the
"save target as" works, and it directly downloads the .mov file to my machine,
as it should.

I would prefer to never have to open IE, is it possible to have this Firefox
glitch corrected?

(...) Actually, it IS downloading the movie, just suggesting the wrong filename. (...) It should be possible to adjust the jump.cgi so that instead of: (URL) would be: (URL) would allow FF to save it as the correct name, while still allowing lugnet (...)
