it seems that the problem occurs only with that specific link.

wfm with other .rar files on other sites.

The server responses a wrong content type of "text/plain; charset=UTF-8". This is not a Firefox issue. IE does work because it doesn't look for the MIME type. Instead it decides what to do by evaluating the file extension, which is wrong.

This should be fixed by an admin of goldchat.nl.

Low priority web site.

I've been browsing the site for a bit to look for contact information, but I can't seem to find a working link containing such information.
