Firefox downloads html page instead of opening it
I have an Apache web server (2.2.24) on a Red Hat Linux server (RHEL 5.8). On the web site I have a link to an html page that is not in the web directory, but is on the file system. When I click on the link to go to the web page, Firefox will not render the html page within the URL of the web site--it instead wants to download the html page before it displays the html. So, instead of getting http://mywebsite.com/help.html I get file:///C:Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Temp/Help.html. In internet explorer, the web page opens just fine: http://mywebsite.com/help.html--it does not try and download the file

Our httpd.conf file has DefaultType text/plain The web page in question has a header of:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Mozilla/4.04 [en] (X11; I; HP-UX B.10.20 9000/879) [Netscape]">
And yet Firefox still wants to download the page instead of render it directly in the browser :-(
The /conf/mime.types also seems to be configured correctly: text/html html htm
More information. The "Help.html" page being called is a link
http://mysite/web/mydir/subdir/subdir/test/Help.html is the URL
On file system:
/usr/mydir/subdir/subdir/subdir/test has a link
Help.html -> /usr/mydir/otherdir/otherdir/form/Help.html
With which MIME type does the server sends this page?
- Live Http Headers: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/
Firefox doesn't respect data present in meta tags when the server already sends this data in the HTTP response headers.
