Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
When I try to load http://m.facebook.com/home.php in Firefox, I get a popup asking me what "what should firefox do with this file?". If I download the file and keep the same file extension (e.g. ~/downloads/home.php), Firefox will behave the same way when it tries to open this local file. However if I change the extension to .html (e.g. ~/downloads/home.html), Firefox will load the page without complaint. Firefox can open http://www.facebook.com/home.php properly. I can reproduce this behaviour on an (almost) clean Firefox profile I use only for handling bug reports. In short: Firefox seems to fail to handle certain web pages because it doesn't know how to handle the .php file extension.
