"You have chosen to open
Artisteer.2.3.0.21098.exe
which is a: PNG Image
from: http://software-files-I.cnet.com
Would you like to save this file?"
That is the dialog box.
I do download alot of PNG images so maybe it takes the last file type and displays it. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the link I provided
2. Click download link
3. Look at dialog box
Actual Results:  
I got the same dialog box with the PNG Image file type thing. 

Expected Results:  
I would get the PNG Image dialog box.

It should have said the file type is an executable file.

I get that it is a binary file, which is correct. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100109 Minefield/3.7a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) ID:20100109042837
Can you open in safe mode and test there? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

I am getting it recognized correctly as an exe as well, when I go to the provided URL (http://download.cnet.com/3001-10247_4-10886734.html?spi=877041b003be0d8d55965a2b80d4c2aa&part=dl-Artisteer) with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) ID:20091221164558

Is it correctly identified if you create a new, empty profile and try the download? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles?s=profile
