Hi!
I encountered the following problem:
I run a apache webserver with some https-sites. I use mod_gnutls because
I need ssl with named virtual hosts. mod_gnutls supports SNI.

When setting up the Horde-Framework on my server, Firefox suddenly
asked to save the PHP-Skritp instead of showing a modified page.
this bug is also mentioned at http://issues.outoforder.cc/view.php?id=95

I can confirm that with mod_ssl this bug does not occur.
But accessing the same page with firefox on Windows is no problem.

I downloaded Firefox for Linux from Mozilla.com and it also worked.

Works: - Apache2+mod_ssl: every browser/os I testet
       - Apache2+mod_gnutls: Windows: every Browser I tested
                             Linux (Debian(squezze/sid):
			        - every not xulrunner-based Browser
				- fresh firefox from Mozilla.com (3.0.9)

Does not work:
        - Apache2+mod_gnutls: Linux (Debian squezze/sid):
	                        - every xulrunner-based Browser I tested
				  (iceweasel, epiphany-gecko, galeon)

To rule that out, can you try with a newer libnss3-1d package (from unstable)?

Thanks

Then I'm relieved. Because there's really no change in debian that would
explain such a difference. Would you mind sending a bug report on
bugzilla.mozilla.org?

Cheers,
