  "FIREFOXHTML" is the *filetype*, the file name is "loading.html".



So Internet Explorer now is trying to open the html file whith the program
firefox.exe, which is not there. So IE prompts the user for action.


Yes yes and all that.  The point is - why did Gmail (presumably) look at
the User-Agent: string that was sent, and serve up a Firefox file rather
than the IE it probably should have?

IE is Doing The Right Thing by asking.  Gmail is misbehaving by serving
up something that IE feels the need to ask the user about.

*THAT* is the odd behavior.
