Default Can't open Webpage with FireFox


I can't open webpage at
http://www.satellite-evolution.com/p...t%20issues.htm
with my Firefox 1.5.0.6.

No problem opening that page with IE v6 though.

Can anyone help?

Server problem. When you open it in FF, it displays the source code.
Right click on the page, and select View Page Info.

You will see that the page is being served as text/plain, should be
text/html.

Firefox is doing exactly what is is being told to do, display the page
as plain text.

in other words, complain to the website owner and tell him to fix it
so it displays in ALL browsers, and not just IE

There's this fella with a parrot. And this parrot swears like an old
salt, I mean he's a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight
without repeating himself. Trouble is, the guy who owns him is a
quiet, conservative type, and the bird's foul mouth is driving him
nuts. One day, it just gets to be too much and the guy grabs the bird
by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this
just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy
gets angry and says, "OK for you," and locks the bird in a kitchen
cabinet. This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches,
and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a
stream of vulgarities that would make a sailor blush. At that point,
the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer. For the
first few seconds there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws
and thrashes. Then it suddenly gets very quiet. At first the guy just
waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a
couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that he opens up the
freezer door. The bird meekly climbs onto the man's outstretched arm
and says, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best
to improve my vocabulary from now on." The man is astounded and amazed
at the transformation that has come over the parrot. Then the parrot
says, . . . to be continued

For what its worth, the page displays as the designer intended in
Safari, but Opera gives the code exactly as Firefox.

As GW suggests, contact the web master, and explain the problem as I
have explained it to you.
