First, the two URLs you reference to are not links, so I had to use a second tab
to try to open the files.
Second, the source files "couldn't be read," so I want to say that the problem
is with the server, not the browser.

Third, please update your version of FireFox to a recent nightly build:

trying to verify the bug. Thanks!
