Bug#600211: iceweasel: should ignore "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP response header

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.13-1
Severity: normal
This more or less corresponds to the upstream bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185618
(but upstream developers don't seem to want to fix it).
When opening a URL which is served with a
Content-Disposition: attachment[...]
non-standard[*] HTTP response error, Iceweasel always opens a dialog box
to open the file in an external application or to save it. This is silly
when Iceweasel can open the file natively, in particular on a HTML file.
On my machine, Firefox wants to open such HTML files with Epiphany! See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185618#c45
for what the RFC's say.
[*] standard for mail messages, but not for HTTP.
