If you look at the external stylesheet the page uses (fstyle.css), it starts with:

<style type="text/css">
<!--

and ends with:

-->
</style>

This is illegal syntax for an external stylesheet; those elements should only be
present for stylesheets embedded in HTML.  Mozilla parses the first rule in the
stylesheet according to spec as:

<style type="text/css"> <!-- a:link { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;
color: #2C6B2C }

This contains all sorts of stuff that is illegal in CSS1 and CSS2 in the
selector (for example, the "!"), so the entire rule is thrown out according to
the parsing rules for CSS.

Removing the offending HTML from the stylesheet makes things works fine.  I
suggest this be marked "Invalid" and that the owner of the site be contacted so
that he can fix his stylesheet.
