When I display any page with ".cgi" file extension Firefox shows the page source
in plain text instead of the interpreted HTML. This problem doesn't occur with
any other browser nor if I rename the file with .html extension. The URL I
specified above is an example from my personal little web server.
Such a problem prevents any website that uses such files to be viewed with Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any cgi-script generated page form any URL that has the ".cgi" file
extension
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox whoes the page source in plain text

Expected Results:  
It should display the rendered HTML page

The webserver is sending text/plain as the content type when it should be
text/html. This is a problem the webmaster needs to sort out.
