Bug Description

I have Firefox 3.5.6 installed both under Windows 2000 and under Ubuntu 9.10. The problem occurs only under Ubuntu.

I have no local web server installed. [I know I could do this.] If Firefox receives a php-file from an external web server, it displays it okay. If, instead, I load a php-file from my local disk, it displays the message (translated from the German):

Opening filename.php

You want to download the following file:
- filename.php
  File type: php-script

What should Firefox do with this file?
...

How do I get my Linux Firefox to displaying the file without asking such questions? [As already mentioned, that is what my Windows Firefox does, except that it does not, of course, execute php commands.]

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Is the bug that Firefox won't display the source code or that you are not given a list of Editors to choose from?

Actually the problem is it pop up the screen and request to open the php file using other available program and it just never send out anything from then on...
