Involving my iDisk. Why when I create a simple website and put it in my Sites folder on my iDisk, when I go to it in Firefox it brings up the Download screen. Saying open with/save as. While on Safari it opens like a normal html would open, since it is just plain HTML. Does anyone know how to fix this or why this happens.

    Well I found out what was wrong. Its a problem with the .Mac service. Mozilla is the only browser that handles it correctly even though it appears to be broken. IE and Safari just don't recognize it. However to fix it all I did was erase the drive I had on my desktop, so now it the only copy is the actual idisc (not backed up). Then I changed all the .htm files to .html. I deleted the idisc and then put the files back onto it. Then finally I cleared Firefox's cache and it worked perfecty.
