[Bug 427190] [NEW] php pages on localhost try to download instead of render in firefox most of the time

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I use apache2, php5 and mysql-server to develop web pages on my local
machine. I have been using karmic and keeping it up to date since alpha
3.

When viewing pages on localhost (ie. http://localhost/whatever.php)
sometimes it will render in firefox and sometimes firefox will ask to
download it. While this is annoying and probably serves me right for
using alpha versions but I haven't seen this bug report yet.

I can browse any pages on the web with no issues so I can only assume
that it is a configuration problem with apache or php or a bug in the
current version as it never used to happen on Jaunty.
