Used to view 511NY.org (Road conditions) on FF 3.X. Upgraded to FF 4 and now asks me what to do with 511NY.org because it's an application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml. Asks do I want to Save it or Open it? I say Open it with FF, then instead FF4 downloads a page to my hard drive. The text of the page is html as above but it won't open. I tried it on IE7 and it opened correctly just as it used to on FF 3.X. Please help! thanks.

See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/796303

The user-agent detection was incorrectly identifying FF4 as a mobile browser, in turn redirecting to a mobile version. Install the following addon to workaround this problem until it's fixed: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/xhtml-mobile-profile/
