The web server is sending the wrong mime type for Flash:

The server sends the file as text/plain and Mozilla renders it as text/plain

->Tech Evang (broken Server)
The correct mime-type for this file would be "application/x-shockwave-flash"

I couldn't find the flash map, the one I found was a dhtml map with proprietary
javascript :(

Comment 7

[Reinout van Schouwen]

This specific problem seems to have disappeared, however please file a separate
bug for the DHTML map or notify promozilla.org. Marking FIXED.

[Patrick]

i looked at this the other day, but the main URL as listed in the URL box still
shows some problems. That's why i didn't mark it fixed.
