It's triggering a download on Firefox for Android for me, instead of viewing the page. Desktop Firefox seems to cope with it OK.

This page is using gzip encoding and my best guess is that we only currently support that on the desktop, not in Fennec & B2G.

Gzip is now a supported thing on the firefox os in general now.
