fine, that does not explain why they are sending the wrong Content-Type
for the other URL, the one below with "raw=true" is expected to send
"application/msword" too instead "text/plain"

https://github.com/gammu/gsm-docs/blob/master/standards/3gpp/TP-000024/23040-009.doc?raw=true

the main question is why someone is starting a thread blaming Firefox
because a broken website and insist in blame Firefox while it was
multiple times explained how the www works and why Linux does handle
htings not the same crippeled way like Windows

if someone wants to have the behavior of Windows/MSIE he is free to
buy, install and use it, the rest of the world continues not to guess
if the mime-type from a server was only a joke - period
