I come across this many times with users installing PHP on their Apache server. This is most definitely a problem between Apache and Firefox.
If IE7's request is executing it then Firefox's request should be no different - though you can do advanced options based on different client types.
Try comparing the two Apache configuration files and see if there are differences in your Directory statements.

I'm in the process of migrating to a new hobbit server and have run into one of those 'interesting' problems.
This system also runs cricket (http://cricket.sourceforge.net) for network switch monitoring, so I started to move it yesterday.
The entire cricket menu is generated by a perl cgi script called 'grapher.cgi'. I've got ported; running it by hand generates a valid html file.
Under IE 7.0 I get the cricket menu.
Firefox downloads the script. On the old server, firefox runs the script just fine.
The hobbit cgi scripts are working correctly on the new system (both firefox and IE).
Suggestions?
The web server is Apache2 on SuSE Enterprise Linux 10.
TIA
