I Cannot open http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2007/02/27/14001.aspx in Firefox 9.0.1. I Can open it in Internet Explorer.

Error Message; Content Encoding Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Hi,

Please try a Ctrl + F5 refresh of the page. This helps to bring in the page content afresh. If it persists, please check in Safe Mode.

I'm having no issues browsing the site (Firefox 9.0.1). Please also try deleting the cookies and the cache: Tools (Alt + T) > Clear Recent History... , choose Everything for Time range to clear: and enable Cookies and Cache under Details and click Clear Now..

You can temporarily try to disable gzip encoding by setting the network.http.accept-encoding pref to deflate or to an empty string to see if that helps.
Don't forget to reset the pref to the default value.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
  • Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
