Does your server somehow not know how to handle json files? Not sure why it would ask you to download them.

I just wanted to report that I ran into the same issue with 7.x-3.0-alpha1 and using the 7.x-3.x-dev version solved it for me. My server config files were fine.

Title:	Can't create the slideshow view	» JSON download when editing view_slideshow settings
Priority:	Critical	» Major
Status:	Closed (cannot reproduce)	» Active

I'm reopening the issue since it's happening on a site I'm building (my first drupal site ;-) ).

This issue appears when editing a slideshow in views, and trying to save the settings for the slideshow, chrome and firefox open the page with the JSON and iExplorer tries to save it.

Luckily it would appear that the settings do get saved on chrome... I just have to go back to the page I was and save the view. But it's bothersome, and I can't be sure everything gets saved correctly...

These are the modules I'm using:

Views             Views (views)                                                  Module  Enabled        7.x-3.7+10-dev (commit 22bf853810df6b)
Views             Views Slideshow (views_slideshow)                              Module  Enabled        7.x-3.0+33-dev (d1d7371042467)
Views             Views Slideshow: Cycle (views_slideshow_cycle)                 Module  Enabled        7.x-3.0+33-dev (d1d7371042467)
Views             Views UI (views_ui)                                            Module  Enabled        7.x-3.7+10-dev (22bf853810df6b)

The server is an Apache 2.2.22, with PHP 5.4.6 and JSON extension enabled with version 1.2.1 .
Drupal version is 7.23 (if needed I can post all the modules in use).
At first I had installed (via drush) views-7.x-3.7 and views_slideshow-7.x-3.0 but after reading here about the issue I installed both dev versions (meaning drush dl and drush en). In a aside, should I have uninstalled completely both modules?

Anyway, any possible help on this would be appreciated.

I've identified the case in which the json download happens.
When doing click on the settings link of the slideshow a modal window pops up with the settings, on applying the changes the json is returned (via download request or inline).
If, instead of opening the modal, I right-click and open in a new tab, make changes and apply them, the correct page is returned, where I can save the view.

So how do I disable the modals? Could it be that another module could be interfering with the inner working of these modals?
