Corrupt Content Error after Upgrade to 7.0.1

Ever since I upgraded to 7.0.1., I've been having problems with multiple websites generated a Corrupted Content Error when I try to load them. I NEVER had this before I allowed Firefox to update! I've double checked my version and it is, indeed, 7.0.1.

This is what the message looks like:


Corrupted Content Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

- The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.


Most frequently, I get this error when trying to play an online game, Tribal Wars, and attempting to load the initial game overview page. As soon as that page starts to load, I get this:

http://en58.tribalwars.net/login.php?sid=ff6d10ff22d2&secret=0&mobile_no_force=0&t=9154041

If I click on TRY AGAIN, I then get this:

http://en58.tribalwars.net/cookie.php?url=game.php%3Fscreen%3Doverview_villages%26intro&&t=9154041

If I click on TRY AGAIN, I then get this:

http://en58.tribalwars.net/game.php?screen=overview_villages&intro&t=9154041

At that point, the page finally loads. Again, I get this "Corrupted Content Error" with numerous pages now and it is quite infuriating.

Furthermore, I'm getting DNS lookup errors right and left whereas before, I did not. Other than the update to Firefox, nothing else has changed. So this may be the result of that update, or I may have yet ANOTHER problem with Hughesnet. This I have not resolved and its like looking for a friggen needle in a haystack.

I'm totally perplexed. Whereas I've LOVED Firefox, all of a sudden I'm rethinking that and beginning to consider scrapping it for something else.

Any assistance here would be appreciated.

I get this on firefox. I get this on waterfox. I get this on nightly. I don't get it on chrome. I don't get it on internet explorer. I don't get it on comodo dragon. I don't get it on arora. I don't get it on konqueror...... Anyone noticing a pattern here?

I'm willing to admit that it's probably something to do with my isp server, so Mozilla can feel holier than thou about it, but if that's the way they insist on going, I suggest that the next time they upgrade, they call their browser Canute.
