You need to contact your school site administrators to correct this bug. It is a
bug in their software, not Firefox. The \ is valid in the context of a file
called "Maths\Index.asp" but not in the context of a file called Index.asp in a
directory called Maths. They need to change the \ to a / for Firefox to work
correctly (and be consistent with web standards).

Also, please remember that Bugzilla is a public forum, and you shouldn't post
passwords here. I advise you to change your password immediately before some
random reader decides to do it for you.

Actually I take that back, it's not really. For a \ in a filename, it has to be
escaped as %5C. For example, Maths%5CIndex.asp . But this doesn't really apply
to you, since the file name is not "Maths\Index.asp".
