Attached image Screenshot of Error
Seen while running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20091210 Minefield/3.7a1pre.

STR:
1. Visit site
2. Observe attached screenshot

This site renders correctly using the latest 1.9.2 nightly.
The site is determining the MIME type based on User-Agent sniffing:  if the UA string contains "Firefox" they send as text/html (twiddle the general.useragent.extra.firefox pref in about:config), but if it contains Namoroka instead (or Minefield) they send as application/xhtml+xml.  The site is, in fact, invalid XML.
