</head>

<body>
<?php if(!isset($_FILES['bestand']))
{ ?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="rdk" id="rdk">
  <p>
      <input type="file" name="bestand" id="bestand">
        </p>
          <p>
              <input type="submit" name="Verzenden" id="Verzenden" value="Verzenden">
                  <input type="reset" name="Wissen" id="Wissen" value="Herstellen">
                    </p>
                    </form>
                    <?php }
                    else
                    { echo $_FILES['bestand']['type']; }
                    ?>
                    </body>
                    </html>


This was the result of uploading a pdf file:
application/pdf
Just tried your script to verify that the problem still occurs. Same problem, sorry. I also checked IE, IE works fine for me. So needs to be a Firefox issue.

I am for sure it is caused by the new update. Are you on a Windows 7 64-Bit system by the way? Yesterday I worked the whole day at a order processing script (tried it a hundred times) before Firefox automatically updated. After the update, the problem occured.

P.S: I also tried different PDF files.
I'm running Firefox 3.6.3 on Windows Vista 32-bit

I have the same problem here. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on a Windows 7/32-bit system. My PDF-files are uploaded as text/html, while being uploaded as application/pdf on Internet Explorer 8. The PDF files are created using Adobe InDesign CS3 and edited using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
