When I go to http://shaws.com/ and click "online circular" or most other links
on that page, Firefox 0.9.2 asks me to choose what to do with index.html. I've
no idea why. No prompt occurs with the latest Mozilla nighty build, Netscape
7.1, or the latest IE. The page simply opens with no prompt.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://shaws.com/
2. Click "online circular"
Actual Results:  
Firefox 0.9.2 asks me to choose what to do with index.html.

Expected Results:  
Index.html should be opened/displayed.

It's most likely the content-disposition header that the site is sending.

This is probably a Tech Evang bug.

[Bill Sherman]

I'm not techie enough to know what content-disposition is -- but that's neither
here not there.

I forgot to add an item in my original post. When I select "Open with
FirefoxHTML (default)" in the dialog and click OK, the resulting page is a mess.
Is that expected given the content-disposition?

Comment 3

[Daniel.S]

The site no longer sends wrong headers.

This bug should be closed.

Resolving as fixed per last comment.
