It works locally because reading from the local filesystem doesn't give 
Mozilla an incorrect MIME type -- it doesn't give a MIME type at all.[*] 
The local versions, uploaded back to the webserver will not work any 
better than the originals. In fact, they should be identical to the 
originals. And being identical, the webserver will continue to return 
them as text/plain.

[*] This may not be entirely true. In theory, the OS *could* be telling 
Mozilla it's a text/css document. I don't know if Mozilla pays attention 
to such metadata or not.
