1) This is a SVG problem, Core->SVG

2) From the provided link:

<EMBED ID="SVGID" NAME="transform" WIDTH="914" HEIGHT="677" SRC="struct_bd.svg"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/">

The problem is that there is no type specify: type='image/svg+xml'

3) Probably a duplicate of bug 307942

The web server should also serve the svg as image/svg+xml rather than text/plain.

Even if the mime type issues are fixed the svg uses xlink but does not define
xmlns:xlink i.e. it
needs xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" adding as an attribute to the
<svg> element.

Yes, there are bugs in the content, not in Mozilla. Ray, for information on why
SVG content fails in Mozilla please see the following documents. If you can,
please contact the maintainers of websites that make these mistakes and ask them
to correct them. It won't be long after Firefox 1.5 is released before it will
have as big an install base as ASV, so it's in their interest to make the changes.
