Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

The HTTP anwser send by the server is
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:48:40 GMT
  Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
  X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; Tomcat-5.0.28/JBoss-4.0.0 (build: 
CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_0 date=200409200418)
  Content-Disposition: filename=0025570x.di021222.02p0075s.pdf
  Content-Type: application/octet-stream
  Content-Length: 2870193
  Via: 1.0 192.168.1.6
  Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
  Connection: Keep-Alive

Here the server tell Firefox that the file is of type 
"application/octet-stream" and so Firefox handles it like that. This is a 
common problem, but it needs to be fixed on the server side.
As far as I know MS Internet Explorer is the only Browser that usedvthe file 
extension instead of the HTTP Content-Type to decide how to handle a file.

As this issue not not really a bug in Ubuntu I'm going to marks it as
"Invalid"


** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
