Q: 

How to stop browser to download "application/json" AJAX response as a file

My firefox downloads the JSON response of an AJAX call as a file. It's suppose to be handled by the JavaScript i.e. JSON object. Can anyone explain how to stop this behavior or there is something I am missing.

Thanks.

Your code may be making a regular POST instead of an xhr call.

I think you are right, I am using AJAX upload with using the POST in another frame I guess.

A: 

If you mean calling a script that returns plain JSON directly from Firefox JsonView is a nice Plugin for viewing JSON responses in Firefox.
