Atril should determine the file type by looking at the file contents, not by using the filename extension, which is unreliable for files downloaded from the web.
Actual behaviour
Atril currently takes the file extension into account, as this can be seen by changing the filename (see below).
Rename the file to defi14.ps-1.gz (note: with Firefox 119, if you download the file twice, you will get this filename, because defi14.ps.gz already exists due to the first download).
Open this file (under the name defi14.ps-1.gz) with Atril, either from the command line (with the pathname in argument) or directly from Atril with the File → Open menu.
I get the following error:
Unable to open document
File type Gzip archive (application/gzip) is not supported
Note that there is no such issue with the filename defi14.ps.gz.
