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.
