Is this typed in pure ascii?  When I enter www.yourdictionary.com into the
address bar, I get the site.  But your link doesn't load -> makes me suspect the
characters are similar in appearance to roman, but are in fact different.

hrm. I can reproduce this. www.yourdictionary.com has:
var strTemp;
strTemp =
"http://www%2Eyourdictionnary%2Ecom/index.asp?Site=d3d3LnlvdXJkaWN0aW9ubmFyeS5jb20=";
top.location.replace(strTemp);

and also:
<meta http-equiv=Refresh content="0;
URL=http://www%2Eyourdictionnary%2Ecom/index.asp?Site=d3d3LnlvdXJkaWN0aW9ubmFyeS5jb20=">


bug 309671 should fix this, I believe...

As I said, in the current branch build (20051005) I'm fine if I type directly
into the URL bar, but only see the problem if I use a link to the page.  How can
this be due to what is loaded from the site?

the URL is "www.yourdictionnary.com" and not "www.yourdictionary.com".
Note the repeated "n" in dictionNary.

Oops, silly me!  However, this seems to be working fine now for me in 1.5beta2.
 Do you still have a problem?

Well today's behaviour is to forward me to this URL :
<http://lb3.netster.com/index.asp?Site=d3d3LnlvdXJkaWN0aW9ubmFyeS5jb20=>

Looks like there is something changed.
If I look at the page located at <http://www.yourdictionnary.com/>
(thanks to comment #3) the script URL has been replaced,
thus the test case is no longer valid.

I guess this bug should be considered duplicate of bug 304904
and fixed or invalid (as the error message shows the URL in the script so
there is no problem with the error message itself).

BTW I'm using mozilla, not firefox.

marking as duplicate of bug 309671 then... don't think there's a point in
leaving this open as a separate bug.
