Firefox  1.0 refuses to run or open *.asp files.  I also use Mozilla and Opera
and MSIE these, on the same machine at the same time all run and execute *.asp
files.
Firefox insists on a download option only. (MS Net. Framework is installed as it
must be for asp files to run on the other browsers)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any site with *.asp
2.http://vedicmaths.org/Introduction/Tutorial/Tutorial.asp#tutorial3
3.

Actual Results:  
download prompt with no alternate option allowed

ASP is server-side code, which outputs HTML.  If they screwed up the headers for
Firefox UAs, that might have been the problem, but this is WFM as well, using
the same build/OS.
