response headers on geofabrik's pbf files deliver text/plain as
mime-type, which is wrong in my opinion. so ff tries to display it as
text. workaround for me (no guarantees): find mimeTypes.rdf in your
ff-profile, MAKE A BACKUP, and then add:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:application/octet-stream"
NC:fileExtensions="pbf"
NC:description="PBF-File"
NC:value="application/octet-stream"
NC:editable="false">
<NC:handlerProp
RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/octet-stream"/>
</RDF:Description>
this overrides the header's mine type.

Hi,
on Ubuntu Firefox still ask what to do with the files. But you can try
following:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Applications%20panel?s=settings+window&r=4&e=sph&as=s
and then choose "Always ask "
I hope this helps.
//Cheers, Martin

Hi Roger,
yes, I can confirm this. I did not search for a solution.

I have found in the last couple of days that Firefox (which updated
itself recently) tries to open pbf files from the geofabrik depository
rather than downloading them. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, have
you found a solution? (A work round is to use Save As, but this should
not be, and never used to be, necessary.)
Thanks,
Roger
