Firefox reports
The page cannot be found

However IE diplays the Page correctly and you can view the source in FF 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Firefox 1.0
2.goto http://www.dean-park-hotel.co.uk/
3.View Source

Actual Results:  
FF reports 404 page error

Expected Results:  
Displayed the Webpage
The page contains the following:

<frameset rows="100%,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
  <noframes>

    <body bgcolor="" text="">
    <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>  
    </body>

  </noframes>

  <frame name="main" src="http:\\www.southampton-pubs.co.uk\parkhotel"
scrolling="auto">
</frameset>

So it uses '\' instead of '/'. Mozilla/FF try to get this page and get a 404
error, but IE converts the wrong slashes and opens the real page at
http://www.southampton-pubs.co.uk/parkhotel. Please contact the admin/webmaster
about this wrong link! That is not standard.
