The web site is sniffing for the word Firefox in the user agent. When it finds it it returns the mime type text/html rather than application/xhtml+xml.

You can make it do this in any version of firefox by going to about:config and setting general.useragent.extra.firefox to something that does not contain the word Firefox.

This is bug in the web site and not in Firefox and so is invalid. Please report it to the web site administrator.

The website admin needs to read http://geckoisgecko.info/.
