Mozilla does on-the-fly decompression of tar.gz files,
No, it doesn't. Especially not if you navigate to a tar.gz file on the
local file system.
It de-compresses files that are sent as Content-type: text/html with
Content-Encoding: gzip. But IE, Netscape and Opera do that too.
Sometimes Mozilla will decompress a file designated as Content-type:
x/gzip-compressed (or whatever it is called), if it believes that it is
an error and should really be text/whatever with Content-Encoding: gzip.
