WFM.
Does this also happen in Firefox's safe mode?

I have got the same error twice...once on rediffblogs.com & other on tehelka.com. I dont think its reproducible coz on refreshing the page the page is rendered properly. Anyway the screenshot is attached.

Incidentally I opened the same site in IE & this is what i saw (screenshot attached). Sorry but I forgot to mention the version of Firefox on which this bug was discovered - its ver 1.5 release candidate 3.

Has nothing to do with the bug that the reporter filed.

I am having this problem with my blog now. i was editing some posts (not even the template) and suddenly firefox would only show the source code, not the rendered web page. the page still looks fine in safari.

i'm using mac 0s 10.3.9 and firefox 2.0.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with Firefox 2.0? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
