90203 - view source of html page starts a download

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 76816

(Core Graveyard :: Viewer App, defect)

Description

[Bruce Robson]

Mozilla 0.9.2 will display http://www.channel5.co.uk/channel5/technical.php
(badly; the columns of the transmitter table aren't lined up).
However when I select View Page Source, instead of diplaying the
source displays a pop-up with the title "Downloading techinical.php"

This states "You have chosen to download a file of type:
application/x-unknown-content-type; x-view-type=view-source from
http://www.channel5.co.uk/channel5/
What should Mozilla do with this file ?"

probably a dupe of bug 76816.
Interestingly, the table aligns if you open this URL from Composer/Editor.

You're certainly right but this has been already filed (see the mostfreq bug
55583). 

Thank you for testing Mozilla

Sorry. Hirata is right. I was mislead by the summary which strongly suggests bug
55585 "view-source should show original source (use cached source)".
