It's being caused by the limited options in the `Save as type` dropdown. When I attempt to export it, the default file name is the title of the page I'm on plus .xlsx; if I change nothing and just hit Save, it works. However, if I attempt to rename the file I have to manually add the extension because the `Save as type` is **All Files (.)** and there are no other options. So if a user who doesn't realize they have to add the file extension does this, it saves it as a plain File instead of a worksheet.\r\n\r\nCompare this to Chrome that works perfectly because the `Save as type` is **Microsoft Excel Worksheet**, so it doesn't need the file extension added. Is this something that can be fixed in the code or is it a limitation of the browser?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/DataTables/DataTables/issues/comments/216535407","html_url":"https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables/issues/814#issuecomment-216535407","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/DataTables/DataTables/issues/814","id":216535407,"user":{"login":"DataTables","id":278219,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/278219?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables","html_url":"https://github.com/DataTables","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DataTables/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-03T13:56:25Z","updated_at":"2016-05-03T13:56:25Z","body":"Apologies if the request in the github new issue template and the contributing document aren't clear enough. Could you post support requests in the [DataTables forums](//datatables.net/forums) please, so that there is a single searchable point for support requests.\r\n\r\nWhen you post in the forum could you link to a page showing the issue, even if that is on the DataTables' site (so I know the configuration being used). Also, if you could post a link to your question in the forum here, so if anyone does happen to find this one they know where to go.\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nAllan"}}
