Title:
  Firefox will not load website due to unknown MIME type

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
