I was in FireFox and nothing seemed to be happening. I tried IE and it asked me where I wanted to put the download, and I said the Desktop. When I checked the desktop I found the documents that I had tried to download from FireFox. Apparently, FireFox just assumes that you want it on the desktop and puts it there without even telling you that it did so. Also IE did display the document when I picked that. So it must be a FireFox problem. I'll tell our users to use IE if they need to download attachments.

But in Mid Tier if we click on "Display" we get a blank white window, and if we click "Save to Disk" nothing happens. What are we doing wrong?
