You must have missed my previous message: This is a known Firefox bug, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52282 This bug has nothing to do with Emacs; opening file:///foo/bar.html.gz in the Firefox address bar fails to uncompress, whereas http://foo/bar.html.gz uncompress properly. I don't think there's anything we can do in Emacs to work around this. The Mozilla folks are still discussing how to fix it on their end.
