When I try to open a page with following code on Firefox, Firefox opens a download dialog box. The same code works fine on IE and Maxthon. The same problem is happening on Safari browser also.

    I’d try running the page through a validator, but the things that stand out instantly:

    1. Meta tag in head not closed – I’d be surprised if that did it though.
    2. JavaScript outside the <html></html> tags – This ay be your culprit.

    Other than that I’d make sure the HTTP header Content-Type is set properly (Should be “text/html” – there’s a few other legal values too but judging by your meta-tags that’s what you’re intending to serve it as). Firebug (firefox addon) should let you see this.
