User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 I find it easier to import a PGP key in Enigmail using copy & paste than saving the file and browsing through the file system to find it, so I’d appreciate if those were displayed in the browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the URL of a PGP key which is served as application/pgp-keys Actual Results: Download prompt appears Expected Results: Display the content - Maybe "application/pgp-encrypted" and "application/pgp-signature" should also be displayed in the browser - Many keys are served with the wrong content-type, for example application/octet-stream, but they can be identified by looking for "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" at the beginning of the file.

Martin -> Do you have a sample URL that is served as application/pgp-keys?

Marking as an enhancement request. Sounds like something for an extension to do (like it looks like FireGPG might have done when it was maintained)
