That is a Firefox bug :-)
There are some applications out there still struggling to correctly transmit
extensions on the Mac, and Firefox is one of them.
I would have thought that by now, they would have got used to the fact that
Unix likes extensions :-) Apparently not.
However, since you now know that you need a .cil file, you can add the
extension later, then double-click the file.
Cheers

I'm having trouble downloading clip art from Microsoft Office Online using
Firefox 3. I select the clip art I want and go to the download window. The
Media Application correctly shows "Import into Clip Gallery for Macintosh."
After I click on Download Now, a file named ClipArt appears in my downloads
folder. Here's where the problem begins. Firefox does not keep the .cil file
extension, so the document kind shows as a generic Document. I have to rename
the downloaded file to add the file extension, then import it into Clip
Gallery Is this a Firefox bug or an Office bug? If I download the same clip
art using Safari, I can import it into Favorites without any problem.
