.pdf file downloads as a .htm file
I am trying to download a .pdf file from the website below, and have done so successfully before. However, I tried to open it again, and it showed up in the download list as a .html file. How can I fix this?

That is because it is an error page:
Server Error: We are unable to process the page you requested.
Thanks for your reply, but it is not an error page. It is a link to download a .pdf document, but Firefox is ignoring the .pdf and recognizing it as a .html file.
Go to this website:
http://www.usbr.gov/research/science-and-tech/research/detail.cfm?id=147
Scroll down to "Research Products" and click on the following link to the .pdf document.
The WWIS Network Collaboration: An Analysis of the Social, Economic, and Biophysical Environments Supportive of and the Historic Trends in Conflict and Cooperation in the Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Colorado Region 1970-2005 By Mr. Nathan Eidem
Look at the dialogue box. It states:
"You have chosen to open ...19702005.pdf which is a: Firefox HTML Document from: http://www.usbr.gov
It states that it is a .pdf file, but Firefox sees it as a HTML Document. I was able to open this .pdf file with Firefox less than two months ago, but I suspect something is wrong with the browser update.
Yes, the link that you post above does work and gives a page with content, but the other link gives this error page, so that page is no longer available.
Do you still have a page that links to that URL?
