Downloading .docx files gets gibberish

I have Firefox installed 26.0 (although this has happened in previous versions). I lived all the previous questions on this problem, but none that I see. It goes to third-party access to my web site. I have an example of web page I have up that has the problem to http://flory.net/gabl/docx.htm.

When I click on the link on the page above (a 2007 office word .docx document), I get a page of gibberish as if it downloads the file as a text document. I went through all the steps I could find to support fix it to without success, including resetting all values by default, etc.. .doc works fine, but I can't find anything in the Options/Applications which will allow me to change/add info to handle .doc or .docx.

Unlike Internet Explorer, which looks at the beginning of the file itself to reach an opinion on its content-type, Firefox relies on the information provided by the web server. In this case, the server sends "text/plain" and Firefox that honors. The server must be updated to send a better content-type for DOCX files.
