Weird apache problem

I'm having a problem figuring out what the heck is wrong with a webserver. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

It's running Apache and php4 (with Apache module selected using make config), and when you try to load a page (Squirrelmail) using Firefox, you get a popup asking you what to do with the file. (You have chosen to open ..which is a: application/x-httpd-php from: https://webmail.stovebolt.com What should Firefox do with this file?

The page loads fine in Internet Explorer.

The load module and add module lines exist in the httpd.conf file and the webserver has been restarted repeatedly, with no errors. There's no errors in the httpd-error log. The libphp4.so file exists in the correct directory.

uname -a

The only thing that strikes me as odd is that there's no dependency for php related to apache:

pkg_info -r apache*
Information for apache+mod_ssl-1.3.36+2.8.27:

Depends on:
Dependency: mm-1.4.0
Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1

pkg_info -R apach*
Information for apache+mod_ssl-1.3.36+2.8.27:

Required by:
mod_perl-1.29_1
mod_security-1.9.2
squirrelmail-1.4.6
