I found suddenly some strange behaviour on my websites  when using  
Firefox.  Sometimes Firefox is not opening the  page  but trying to  
download it.  Any idea  what is wrong with these webpages??  Safari  
opens everything as  expected.

here a  starting point for testing

Yes correct Willy! Trying your pages ending with "Menu..." show that behaviour!

Hi Willy,

I'm not a web designer, but I think there is a problem with the MIME
type. Firefox has no clue that this is supposed to be a HTML site,
because the DOCTYPE is not declared in a valid way
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctype). Try something like

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

and your site should be at least displayed. After finding and applying
the correct doctype, you might want to check your site(s) for valid
markup using a validator (for instance http://validator.w3.org/). If you
don't use correct doctype declaration and valid markup, browsers will
display them in quirks mode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks) or
even not at all.

Best regards, Philipp

Thanks a lot for the help.

my HTML generating software wrote in the header

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">


and I changed it to:

<meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>


now it works in Firefox... dont ask me why....
