The problem is I *know* it's a text file and so just want to view it as text in the browser -- could this be added as a third option in the dialog? It,s really annoying on a site like that (sometimes other sites fool the browser as well espec. if they have a .exe extension but are in fact a CGI type executable -- i think thawte used to have this problem) Reproducible: Always
The .c files are sent as Content-Type "text/x-csrc" by the webserver.

My point is not that the file has been mislabled. "text/x-csrc" is the correct mime-type AFAIK -- my problem is that I don't want to open another program to view the file I want to open it in the browser. I'd like the option to overide mozilla's decision that it's best to open an external viewer/save the file to disk.
