This problem affects each and every Live page I tried.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the Google link provided above to get a list of Live spaces.
2. Pick a random one.
3. See what happens...
Actual Results:  
The following error occurs: {xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx} = ID

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://cid-{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}.skydrive.live.com/home.aspx
Line Number 51, Column 184:
<div id="m_wh"><script type="text/javascript">/* Copyright (C) 2009 Microsoft Corporation */function $c_TreatTile(a,e){a.style.display=e;var d=a.width,c=a.height,b=19;if(d>=c||c<b)a.height=b;if(d<c||d<b)a.width=b}</script>

Erroneous behavior - this should never happen.

Works perfectly on IE.

That is bad browser sniffing on their side. If you add 'Firefox' in the UA string (about:config, search for 'general.useragent.extra.firefox'), it wirks fine.

This is basically the same issue as bug 347509

Yes you are right! I just didn't find it because MS decided to rename all of their stuff...

I'd agree to mark this a duplicate of 347509.

Thanks for that hint Philippe, this worked a treat.

As we are here:

what's about that undocumented option called 'general.useragent.override'?

What is the difference (or the additional feature I get) when this option gets
set as well?
