My online store sends out the file for download upon purchase. Below
are the headers I send, and I understood that it should work for all
browsers. It does not work for Firefox. Suggestions?
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);
This header is a bogus MS made-up header that extends the HTTP spec,
and will not work for anything but IE, and only kinda sorta works on
IE anyway...
Well, IE itself only kinda sorta works, but that's another topic or
twenty. :-)
Here is a rather long-winded rant on this very topic:

You may be able to find a short and more concise version elsewhere.
OTOH, you may find the rant entertaining, as some have.
$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$filename);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile('../../store/files/'.$filename);
