[Holger Ahrens]

Don't know how I can describe it better as before but I'll try:

---

a) In a PHP environment with FireFox for Mac I receive a wrong MimeType for PDF files uploaded in a form
b) catch the MimeType as string in "$_FILES['xx']['type']" from the POST data

expected result: "application/pdf"
wrong result: "pdf/application"

affected browser: UserAgent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0

---

So what information do you need more to reproduce this by self?
