User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; hu; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; hu; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6

When I try to open this url (http://www.quaggaproject.org/) I get an error message saying that the page uses invalid or unsupported compression. This may be not a bug, but an unimplemented feature (supporting the particular compression type). 

Chrome&IE8 opened. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.quaggaproject.org/

Actual Results:  
An error message saying that the page uses invalid or unsupported compression

Expected Results:  
Displaying the website.

I chose normal severity, as I'm not aware if this is a bug or not, but it may be a missing feature as well.

What is WFM?

WFM -> Works for Me

I also don't see an issue. Can you please try this in safe mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Please also try with a new, empty profile -> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles?s=profile

@Tim, I did these, here are the results:

1. Here is the invalid encoding page I get: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1470243/ff_invalidencoding.png (it's in hungarian)

2. When running in safe mode, instead of the invalid encoding, I consistently get a "host not found" error. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1470243/ff_hostnotfound.png 
NOTE: I checked in other browsers to see if the host was up, and it was.

3. What more interesting, is that when I restart in normal mode, I also get the hostnotfound error. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1470243/ff_hostnotfound2.png 

Now it seems to stay that way. I managed to "turn it" into "invalid encoding" by constantly ctrl-f5-ing. 

Some more details: I also run an arch linux system on this very same box. On my arch, it works neatly. Same configuration, same network. I can't tell you the version number, but I will get back with it.

sorry, I forgot the new profile thing. It's the very same hostnotfound page, as with the safe mode.

1) Can you translate the text in #1
2) The host not found that is resolve with refreshing the page (F5) could be related to the DNS prefetching that FF uses. Please try the following:

Open about:config, confirm the warning, right click on the list and
select NEW, Boolean, for preference name use "network.dns.disablePrefetch"
(without the "") and the Value is "true".

Restart Firefox - does this get rid of the host not found errors?

Sorry for being late. I just discovered that when trying the empty profile and the safe mode, I mistyped the address! (quaggaproject.com instead of quaggaproject.org). Now I checked again, and in safe mode, as well as in an empty profile, it works perfectly. Now I think that it is probably related to the skin I'm using. It wasn't a regular theme as I remember, it was tricky to install. I think I didn't encounter this problem (or others), because I use the win7 box rarely. Thanks for the help,

I set the status to RESOLVED, but I'm not sure if it's "INVALID" or "WORKSFORME", because both of them is true :).
