Nanaca Crash
 

<URL:http://homepage.mac.com/pockyrevolution/nanaca_crash.html>

This link leads to a Flash game. There are some other interesting games
on the same site. A couple of weeks ago I had no problems playing them
in FF, now I am asked what I would like to do with this HTML file. If I
choose to open with "FirefoxHTML (default)" then FF tries to open
<URL:file:///c:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/TEMP/nanaca_crash-2.html>
which obviously doesn't work.

The only thing I can think of having changed in the meantime is that I
upgraded from FF1.02 to 1.03. There have been various extension
upgrades as well, but I get the same result when I start FF in safe mode.

Any ideas?

Nothing worng with Firefox. It's the server (homepage.mac.com) that is
serving the page with the wrong content-type. The page is served as
application/octet-stream whereas it should be text/html.
Content type application/octet-stream is the type that should be used if
nothing else is applicable: it's like the webserver is saying "I'm
sending you this page, but I don't know what it is".
Contact the website's administrator about this problem.

Thanks for that Tony. I saw that link when it was posted to
uk.rec.cycling as well, but I was more interested in why the link I
posted didn't work with FF. I was also interested in playing some of
the other games on the site, particularly Tontie, which I've now found
an alternative site for:
<URL:http://www.ebaumsworld.com/tontie.html>

(The original link works find in IE, but I'm well aware that that's at
least as likely to indicate a broken website as a broken browser).

If you would like I can send the file to you. That way you don't have
to keep downloading the file each time you want to play (and use up
the site's bandwidth).
