"text/html; charset=utf-8" is the correct form to use.

IE doesn't couldn't find a match on how to render "text/html, charset=utf-8" so it asks for you to download it.

I am assuming Firefox just ignores what it doesn't understand, or has a code path that handles this case.

When you added the content type you more then likely added it with a "," instead of ";"
