Obviously, I double checked with other browsers that it is not the destination site to get confused. Google chrome uploads files to anagrafericerca.unibo.it without any problem.

If I upload a PDF file to some site using firefox, the receiver gets the file and an associated mimetype of application/binary rather than the correct application/pdf (btw, note that konqueror uploads the pdf file with the correct mimetype). I do not know if the above is a problem with edgy firefox or with upstream firefox, but I suspect the first. The bug seems minor, but is in fact critical to those needing to upload conference papers or journal articles to publishers' web sites. In fact, the latter often refuse the file if the file does not appear to be PDF.
