Re: anyone else with this problem

Same here -- works fine in firefox 3.0.3 for ME.

Some questions:
1) Are you going through a proxy (at work, for example?)
2) Do you have any firefox add-ons installed? Try disabling them and
ensure firefox is restarted.
3) Does it do the same thing in "safe-mode"? $ firefox -safe-mode
4) If that doesn't work, see what content-type is being sent back by using CURL.
$ export http_proxy=http://my.proxy:8080 # if you need a proxy to
access internet?
$ curl -i -A "Mozilla/5.0" http://bloomberg.com 2>/dev/null | grep -i
'^Content-type'

I've been having this problem for about 24 hours now. It renders fine
on konqueror, but no go on firefox. It worked before. Just trying to
see if someone else can confirm or deny it.

TIA



No, I'm fine. I've got FF 3.03
