Why does Firefox download .docx files as octet-stream?
When I try to open or download files that have the .docx extension FireFox 5.0.1 says they are octet-stream. Internet Explorer 8 opens and downloads the files correctly. Do I need to switch browsers or is there a easy "fix?"

1) You really should update to Firefox 8.0.1 - there are many security fixes you are missing running version 5
2) It is up to the website to send the right headers. On what site is this occurring?
3) Threats don't make people want to help!
As what kind of files does Firefox save the .docx files?
Firefox will always offer to save files that are send as application/octet-stream
