Server sends this file as audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin, so it might be possible Mozilla tried to load some plugin here. Can you look under Help-About Plugins what plugins you have installed?
I found this plugin: rpnp.so File name: rpnp.so audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin RealPlayer Plugin Metafile rpm Yes Additionally I have java and flash.

ugh. Well, rpnp.so is hopeless, but this can live in Tech evang. The site needs to fix the mime type.

Website is still broken, sent an email to support@mainconcept.com about fixing the MIME type. Also, could someone downgrade the severity of this since this is now focusing on the Evangalism issues?
Got a response from Markus Kramer at Mainconcept (markusk@mainconcept.de), they've changed the MIME type for RPMs to application/octet-stream. Confirmed that this is the case. Should this now be marked as fixed?
> Should this now be marked as fixed? yup. Thanks, Ian.
