I have tested using a flame master with today build (Gecko 692e97f Gaia f8755a2) and  when I try to open a email with a pdf attachment in the browser (gmail.com), I get the same error. 

Add screenshot about it.

As email application had very limited support to see attachments and web sites can be a good option to check them, I think it is worthy to check:
1) why this bug appears still in master and
2) it is not properly downloaded by Download manager like other attachments.

Jason, do you know who is the best team to check it? Thanks in advance.

Aus - What do you think?

As far as I can tell this isn't a Downloads API related issue. Looks like we really are failing to parse that content and that's what is used to display the attachment. If one uses the same link in Firefox Desktop, you'll get it to display as expected. Not sure why we would fail under FxOS.

I believe Ehsan knows more about this already (according to Fabrice).

I also saw this, and bug 1036987 now contains more technical information about the issue, so duping forwards.

(And FTR, this has nothing to do with downloads.  The XHTML content they are sending down is not valid XML.)
