Whenever I click the link http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php?action=unread which is vew unread post firefox prompts me to choose weather to open the file in an application or save it on a certain location on my computer.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

this is a website problem. the website must provide proper mime-type info in http header. If it provides a bad mime-type, ffox will look for a suitable app and use that.
