Having problems with Wikipedia
I've the latest version of fx and I have problems with it; but just on Wikipedia.
1.) Some times, when I click on link to page, it opens, but is blank. Sometimes it helps to reload, sometimes does not.
2.) Some time I receive a message about downloading (for "application/octet-stream", "php file").
What could be wrong?
Regards,
Klemen

My guess is that 1) is the result of a bug that Firefox seems to have, which causes it to treat an interrupted download as if it completed normally. I've noticed this before, but not recently, and I've never investigated it enough to file a bug report or check for existing bugs. I've been meaning to do that.
For 2), it would be nice if you could give a specific example, but it's probably a server configuration problem.

Right now I'm having problems with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_I_of_France (2nd problem above).

1. Clear your Cache (Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache). Then try loading the page again.
2. Do you have any extensions installed that could cause a conflict? Try disabling them one by one (Go to Tools -> Extensions and right-click on an extension to disable it).
3. If none of the above works, I recommend creating a new Firefox Profile: http://the-edmeister.home.comcast.net/html/advice.html

OK, I have slovenian version, but translation would be
Opening Veter
(image of dokument) Veter
,which is: application/octet-stream
from http://sl.wikipedia.org
What should Firefox do?
Open with program (browse)
Save to disc
OK - Cancel
========
or
========
Opening index.php
(image of dokument) Veter
,which is: PHP file
from http://sl.wikipedia.org
What should Firefox do?
Open with program (browse)
Save to disc
OK - Cancel
PHP problem was, when I tried to open http://sl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... did=117522
Usualy I have to repeat several times to open but sometimes nothing works (I tried going back, used search function,...)

We've got about 40 web servers behind several reverse proxies behind those 14 IP addresses.
I haven't ever been able to reproduce this problems hitting the servers directly (or, for that matter, loading pages in Firefox, though other people have reported this problem). It might be very helpful if you could provide the actual headers included with these problem hits ('live http headers' extension may or may not help here).

Do you mean something like this?
I went on http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posebno:Recentchanges and started clicking.
URL (planned action, message, detail, try)
http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uporabnik:Obradovic_Goran (watching, PHP message; URL wasn't written; second try worked)
http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_sr (watching, blank page)
http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Plant (watching, blank page)
http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Ru%C5%A1d (history; PHP message; - // -, -//-)
