Go back to firefox and clear your cache. The site will load fine then.

What happened is a file on the server got corrupted and your web browser wasn't recognizing this as a website, so it was allowing you to save the "unknown" file on your computer. This is the default action for a web browser if it doesn't recognize what it is being sent to.

Just to remove any confusion, there were no programs trying to be downloaded onto your computer, although that is what it looked like by the terminology of firefox and IE.
