anyone else with this problem

[Dustin Breese]

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'
