This happens when the server isn't configured properly and is sending the file as text/plain. If that is the case then Firefox opens the page in a Firefox tab and you would have to use "Save Page As". If you left-click a link then use "Save Link As" in the right-click context menu. You can contact the website to look into this.
OK i will contact them. can you explain why Google Chrome handles the open properly givin it is a server configuration issue?
one additional piece of information re: google chrome. it does not try to open the file. it simply presents the file as an attachment at the bottom of the page. when it is opened (using an open button or double clicking on it) , it is opened properly.
