This should be filed as CORE->SVG but in any case is not valid.

The svg file is being served with a MIME type of image/svg-xml rather than image/svg+xml.

Duplicate of bug 136666 or 256742 perhaps?

Adobe SVG plugin recognizes svg-xml and svg+xml. Firefox recognizes image/svg-xml, but when author uses image/svg+xml it says that "plug-in is needed". Maybe it is authors mistake, but I think firefox should use internal svg decoder ...

PS. When I try to open: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/svgtest.html firefox says: 

"B³±d parsowania XML: nieprawid³owo sformowany
Obszar: http://www.adobe.com/svg/svgfiles/svgtest.svgz
Numer linii 1, kolumna 1:
�
^"
with Adobe Plugin or without it ... Mozilla 1.7.12 displays test correctly with plugin.

That's not going to happen because, as well as breaking the standards, it raises security issues.

My Firefox 1.5 on WinXP SP2 also fails:

The SVG on adobe.com is bad. It's served with the wrong headers, doesn't have namespace declarations etc.
