HTTP question

Hi everybody!

I have installed a web server with and my document-root is /var/www/
xyz.
In xyz there is one more directory w (/var/www/xyz/w) where I
installed mediawiki application.
Everything is ok if I try to open wiki from Opera Web Browser (I mean,
it loads ok, it looks ok etc).
However if I open same web link from Moziila Firefox or Epiphany
browser, wiki user interface is completely
different because it browsers failed to load css files.
I have checked:
1. css files exists on the disk
2. Permissions to then are ok
3. If I try to open css file using its url http in browser, I get
save as dialog box.
I had firebug, so in Mozilla I can look for GETs and reply that http
header had.
Here they are (from Firefox), an example:

Request:

http://localhost/w/skins/monobook/main.css?195
Host localhost
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ro; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/

And that's all... no content body
What can be the problem ? I don't have smallest clue

Solved - webserver configuration missed mime type assignment css =>
text/css. So firefox displayed css as octet string. Opera was ignoring
mime type anyway, that is what it worked.
