Firefox and PHP

I'm having problems opening my php files(stored locally) with Firefox 3.6.2.
Whenever I try to open a php file, firefox would just pop up the download dialog.
How do I resolve it? Please help!

I am back from my unavoidable break.
Now, I got a job.
I fell in a relationship.
I learned to play an acoustic guitar.
And I am going for a Cort X-1 next month \m/.

Starting with the obvious:
Do you have the PHP interpreter installed?

Yeah, I do.
Even if I haven't installed it, firefox should be able to display it as plain text right? But it doesn't.

Is this with Linux? Do you also have Apache installed? More details, please.

It's a Mac. I'm using MAMP.
And I just figured, it works fine when apache is ON, the php files are perfectly parsed and I get the required output.
But when apache is OFF, it doesn't work. Whenever I try opening a PHP file, firefox simply pops up a download dialog.

That would make sense. I'm not too sure on the details, but I believe Apache has a lot to do with how files such as .php and .asp are parsed.

That's not it.
I had no problems in opening php files(without apache) with previous versions of firefox, of course you could just see the code, but now I can't. Some bug I guess.

=\
Again, something to mention.
I know Firefox had intermittent problems with .php files. I was trying to register an account on another forum, and it kept trying to download the file. I downgraded to another version and it worked fine. Upgraded to the newest one a few weeks later, and it hasn't happened since.

Yes, I get that problem too, but rarely.
And I read somewhere that it happens because of poor design on the server side.

That's happened to me on HTS on rare occasion. I'd hit the reply button, and it'd ask me if I'd like to save the posting.php file.
Only happens rarely, and hasn't for a few weeks, but still.
