Well, yes, I'd expect that. Whatever is causing this to break (as I said, I suspect something in the Firefox profile) is clearly per-machine; this even works fine for me in Firefox on another computer on the same network. Similarly, I haven't bothered checking the URL you gave, because I'd expect it to work just fine for me even if it fails for you - just as I'd expect this URL to work for you, even though it fails for me. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
