Weird stuff with Apache php and firefox

Hi,

I am running SUSE 9.3 on Intel 32bit

I have installed apache 2 php 4 on a server.

When I try and access the page with IE I see the page as it should be
but as soon as I try to look at the page with firefox I am asked if I
want to download the file.

Can someone shed light on the matter?

I have two virtual hosts on the server

www.haigmail.co.uk
and www.redarmour.co.uk

for those who want to check

Thanks

Lance

I don't get that behaviour with Firefox (1.0.7 on SUSE Linux 10.0).

It sounds like the webserver was returning the wrong MIME type for the data
it returned; try a download through a command line tool like curl or wget
to see more details.

Seems like I can connect with my 1.07 as well.

It was my installation of firefox on Winxp.
