2.Go to the URL above (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIImage_Class/).

Actual Results:  
Mostly empty page.

Expected Results:  
A page full of documentation, which does indeed show up if you deactivate this Firefox option.

The question bar stays there for me (on Win XP). When I allow the redirection, the frames with "documentation" seems to load fine.
Reporter, please test with FF6 and reopen if necessary.
