why does Firefox display a .rpt type file in the browser, rather than prompt what to do with it? I did not see anything for that file type in the Applications tab of the Options window.

That probably means that the server sends the file as content type text/plain.
Firefox will open files send as such in a browser tab.
You need to right-click the link and use "Save Link as" in such a case to save the file or use "File > Save Page as" if you've opened the page in a tab.
