Since the data being transferred to FireFox looks exactly like what is
being used when I open the file directly in FireFox, why does FireFox
not display it in the same way?
Maybe this is not an Apache problem but a FireFox one?

Well,
I made a PHP wrapper around the logfile where I include the logfile
and then also echo the endingtags of thefile.
This worked fine on my local Apache.

When you open the file directly from the filesystem, there is no HTTP
header. When accessing the file over HTTP there is a header and it will
specify the MIME type, which is set by Apache. This is what mod_mime
does.
