Showing html code when content-type is text/plain. Not able to read meta data information inside the html.

Mozilla displays html code in stead of the correct page. I checked the content-type in the header, it is text/plain. But inside the html file the content-type is mentioned as text/html in the meta tag. Is there any way to force content-type to mozilla to use text/html instead of reading from the response header.

Fix the problem on the server that is hosting that page.

Make sure that the file has a .html or another known file extension to make sure that the server recognizes it as an HTML file. The server may send unknown files automatically as text plain.
