This morning Mozilla 1.4 (under WinXP) would only give me a blank page when going to the default URLs for FmH. A friend writes that the same thng has happened intermittently this week with Mozilla for Mac. It seems to be spontaneous, unrelated to any changes I’ve made inthe weblog or in the browser, and it resolves spontaneously too. Sometimes, if a person tries to access the page just when I’m republishing after an update, they’ll get a blank page, but in that case a refresh seconds later will show all the content. This is not that problem.

When I can’t get here in Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird and IE6 still work, so I know the page content is still there. In fact, if I go to alternate URLs for the page, I can get there in Mozilla too, if that is a clue. I’ve turned off Mozilla’s built-in popup blocking to see if that was the problem, without it making a difference. I never find this with any other webpage I visit.

Does anyone more adept than I am with HTML and Mozilla understand why this is happening? Is it my browser, the server, or something about the page? or something else? Has anyone else experienced this with FmH or any other page in Mozilla? Any thoughts appreciated…
