PDF files download as JSP

I just upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 this weekend from Tiger 10.4.11 then upgraded to 10.5.8. All went well except for a small glitch in Mail which I got fixed with the help of this forum. My newest problem is this morning I went online to my bank to download our monthly statement which always is in PDF format. The file downloaded fine, except the file title says it's a PDF, but the extension is .jsp. I contacted the bank and they have changed nothing so I am wondering is there a setting I need to change somewhere that would affect the download? At present I haven't found an application that will open .jsp files, but first I want to get them back to PDF format. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Intel Duo Core Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Have you tried renaming the file so that its extension is ".pdf"? I believe I regularly download PDF files that have "jsp" in the file name, but renaming them corrects the problem.

Thanks William!

That worked by renaming the file extension to PDF. Why would this suddenly change? I have been downloading PDF files from the bank for over 5 years and the file always is a pdf. I did get the extension changed, but what is the simple way to do it? I placed the file in Finder then onto desktop then Got Info and changed it there.

Between downloading the plugin for Firefox and or changing the file extension this now works.

Thanks to all who made suggestions!
