Actual Results: Open With dialog box. Expected Results: displayed the actual page. This was happening with the Release version 0.8, so I downloaded and used the nightly snapshot release 0.8+ Got the same result.
I also tried creating a new profile and testing this issue. I received the same results.

Okay. Thank you. Why does it work okay in IE? And what should I advise to set their server Content-Type to?
(In reply to comment #3) > Okay. Thank you. > Why does it work okay in IE? > And what should I advise to set their server Content-Type to? > Internet Explorer is a piece of non-compliant ****. It completely ignores the MIME type, using only the filename extension. THIS IS BAD! Mozilla properly reads the MIME type to determine what to do with the data; the filename extension is irrelevant. The web server itself probably does not need to be reconfigured. Rather, the authors who wrote the PHP script should write the script to send a "Content-Type: text/html" HTTP header when it produces it's output. PHP itself does not have a specific MIME type, because it's a programming language which can output a variety of data formats. (for example, if a PHP script outputs a JPEG image, it should send a "Content-Type: image/jpeg" header. If it outputs a web page, it should send the previously mentioned text/html)
