Only a white page is displayed on Firefox after the Flash intro. This includes the following sites:

http://www.gryphonsecurity.com/homelandepss.htm 
http://www.gryphonsecurity.com/index_2.htm

Something appears to be loading, but nothing is displayed.

Of course, other sites from gryphonsecurity are also not displayed.

Also, on Ubuntu 8.04, with Firefox 3.5B4 does not work.

Comment 3

[Tobias (:Tobbi) Markus]

I sent the evangelism letter to the site to tell them about the problems. 

Let's hope they read it and fix the problems.

This works in IE, so it is a Firefox bug, did anyone try in earler versions of Firefox?(2?)

That's a non-sequitur. Working in IE doesn't mean anything other than it works in IE. If you're going to claim it's a Firefox bug, you had better have some serious supporting evidence (and something that contradicts the idea that the site simply wasn't ever tested in anything besides IE, which is entirely too likely), ideally in the form of a reduced testcase that is valid HTML.

They set the border width on the table to #003366 which we interpret as 3366 pixels. This causes the display problem. Whether we should throw out invalid values like that is a question. But they obviously are confused about using the border attribute for a color instead of a dimension. :-)

Typo, i meant it is probably a firefox bug.
