[Bug 919537] [NEW] Firefox will not load website due to unknown MIME type

 

Public bug reported:

When attempting to open link http://www.baronsvwbellville.co.za/ (from
page http://apps.vw.co.za/dealers/view/69/?q=Cape+Town), Firefox
challenges me with the attached dialog.  The text of the dialog states:

Your have chosen to open

which is a: application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml (5.3 KB)
from: http://www.baronsvwbellville.co.za

What should Firefox do with this file?

Open with [Browse]
Save File

I receive a similar message when viewing http://www.suzukiauto.co.za.  I
have confirmed that Suzuki Auto opens without issue on a Windows XP
machine running Internet Explorer 8 - leading me to belive that
something in Firefox's code / configuration is incorrect or inadequate.
