SE - fairly standard news page with a peelaway ad.

Want me to take a PDF of it for you?

Cheers, P

No, it's just that it was FF used to do for me. Now, I've added two profiles and instead of the expected news screen, I get a 404 not found generated. If I go to the main page, select an article, then click 'News' in the menu bar, this exact same URL works correctly.

Only does not work the first time I open FF3 and call this URL, and does work just fine in IE.

Cheers.

all clear here as well. are you getting a server side 404 or a client side 404?

I take it you are running more than one browser on the same machine, I have similar problems sometimes and have to configure them to use the webcache but not at other times, wierd. :? Had no trouble with that page though using FF 3.01.
