That address resolves with Firefox 1.5.0.5 in XP. Ubuntu's version, as
well as the generic Firefox from mozilla.org, doesn't display even
though IDN support is enabled through the about:config interface. 

Weirdly, when I checked with ethereal to see if either version was
actually requesting name resolution, I found that they were. A dns query
was sent to my ISP's dns server, and it responded with the correct
address, though both versions of Firefox ignored the response.

Either there is some other config option not set properly, or there's an
IDN support issue somewhere.
