The content type on maemo.org isn't being sent.

rather -- 

The content type on maemo.org is being sent as text/html with a content disposition of an attachment.  Fennec happily downloads this file but because Fennec isn't the registered handler of text/html files, we ask the system "who handles text/html".  It sounds like MicroB still has that registration.

A server side solution would be to ask maemo.org to send a content type of "application/x-install-instructions".

I would still like to better understand what it means to be the default handler of text/html on the device.




This can be tracked in a new bug if you like.
