User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0a1) Gecko/20120128 Firefox/12.0a1
Build ID: 20120128031108

Steps to reproduce:

visited this link to download a gzipped file:
https://lastpass.com/fedora/pocket_x64.tar.bz2

but firefox tries to show its content in the browser, which is gibberish.
google chrome shows the download dialog just fine, so this seems a firefox bug.
HTTP Response headers from the server:
Content-Type: text/plain
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Encoding: gzip

Firefox is displaying the file exactly as the server is instructing it to.

As noted in comment 1, this is a broken MIME type. You'll need to contact the server operators and inform them of the problem.

Herom, did you contact them?
It seems they still haven't fixed it yet

They are still sending "Content-Type: text/plain"


If they are using Apache, they could configure with 
  AddType application/x-bzip2 .bz2

They need to be contacted.
