Description:
I was using http://zh.wikipedia.org/
and log in.
But if I login and click edit on the top-right, the browser ask me to "download" a file called index.php instead of leading me to the editor page.
If I don't login, I can see the editor page.
And the problem only occurs on the top-right "edit", else are OK.

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:External_editors (Its a problem, because mediawiki tries to start another program to edit the page if option on, which causes your browser to download an ini file if you don't have such a program configured).
We really need to do something about that preference. (I'm marking this a dupe of the other bug just to increase stats of how many people are confused by this)
