I install the calendar for every new build of Mozilla.  Until 1.4RC2 no problem,
but now with the 1.4 the link on de calendar-projectpage doesn't run the
XPI-script anymore, it just shows the xpi in strange signs in the browser-window.  

I tested another XPI on the "XPInstall Trigger Page".  That installed well,
without problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to Mozilla > projects
2. click on the link: "Install June 12th" (1.4 Beta, Latest Release and Latest
Nightlies)
3.

Actual Results:  
the xpi doesn't start installing, just shows the content in strange signs in the
browser- window

Expected Results:  
install tthe calendar component

afterwards I tried downloading the xpi to my local system first and installing
it afterwards.  That works fine.

I've got no idea why, but it works.  Nothing has changed in my mozilla
configuration since the bug...
