How do I force Firefox to follow a link and render the page as text or HTML, rather than showing the file download dialogue?
On some pages (like http://www.de.ioccc.org/years.html) , URLs with (perhaps unrecognised) file extensions like .c or .hint point to text files which can be rendered normally in Firefox, but which bring up the file download dialogue box. I don't want to download these files - just to view them from the browser. Perhaps this is an issue of mime types on the server side, but it seems logical that Firefox would allow the user to override this behaviour. Does it?

You can look at Open in Browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/8207
A possible workaround without an extension is to pre-fix the link with the view-source: protocol
