Default UTF-8 File Opened in Excel from Firefox Browser

If I save a UTF-8 file to my local hard drive and open it in Excel,
Excel recognizes it as UTF-8 and displays the correct characters.

But if I browse to that same file in Firefox web browser, and choose
Excel when Firefox prompts me for what application I want to open it
in, Excel does not seem to recognize the file as UTF-8, and it
displays incorrect characters.

Is there anything we can put in those UTF-8 files to get Excel to
recognize them as UTF-8 when opened in Excel
through Firefox?


Thanks,

Greg
