The page contains http://www.stickfiguredistro.com/records/wholesale/list.txt as an iframe. This page is sent as text/plain, and Firefox correctly renders it as text/plain. Broken website, -> tech evang. Please email the website owner and tell them to fix their mime types (probably by changing their file extensions).

Summary: well not view the excel spreadsheet in HTML form → stickfiguredistro.com - HTML served as text/plain (and with .txt extension)
/me realizes this bug was filed *by* the website owner. The easiest way to get most servers to send a file as text/html is to rename the file to have an .html extension.
