Hi, you are possibly trying to open a WAP page in Firefox. To enable this, please install the extension here , it should enable support for application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml Hope this helps Ricardo M.

nope...

not a WAP page just a default.aspx page

It's just a regular website.

Nevertheless, the content-type specified requires this addon here to be opened and possibly the addon I pointed before, because Firefox can't open it. I'm not sure why your server would declare such a type of webpage, but troubleshooting Visual Studio 2010 servers isn't something I can do :P I'm sorry, I still hope you can render this page properly to access your work. Hope this helps.
