This isn't a page info bug.

The behaviour you see is because the stylesheets are using relative urls that
have '../' in them. When you use a url like 'foo//' to request a resource, the
relative url '../bar' becomes 'foo/bar' instead of 'bar'. 

If this is actually a bug, I'd guess it's a DOM bug. However, Mozilla probably
can't just "correct" the url (suppose I _want_ to send the server two
backslashes in a row), so I'm marking the bug invalid.
