What is happening is that the person who set up the server didn't set their MIME types properly, so the files are identified as TEXT. Firefox works based on the MIME type, while IE just trusts that the suffix of the file is correct. (Just different words for the same explaination above.)
Firefox has also added some new ways to assist with that (I can't remember if it was after the FFx 0.8 release or not).
Note that the file is stll correct, even if it is ascii code. If you save the file with the proper extension, it will still work fine.
