Works fine with Internet Explorer but Firefox (which I usually use) won't load the page.

Any Firefox users out there know why this happens on Firefox and not on IE?
I looked over the FAQ's from Firefox and didn't find (understand?) anything about this problem. I've noticed a couple other sites where this also occurs. I am generally quite happy using Firefox over IE, but there seem to be a few glitches!
Thanks! 8)

It came up fine for me. The only thing I can see is that the forward slash on the end is missing (thus):

http://www.miraphone.de/

Good luck -- hope this helps! :)

When you first typed it in, you didn't by chance type .com by habit instead of .de? I've typed the wrong ending on other websites and cursed myself later for not catching it and thinking something was wrong.

Nope, it's an ASP coding error by their webmaster. There is an ASP call at the top of the source code on the main HTML page. This page is a frameset and contains a header insert page, a left menu insert page and the main content insert page. All of the inset pages will open in Firefox, but the frameset wil not due to the ASP code. I suspect it is some sort browser sniffer code that predates the release of Firefox, therefore it does not recognize Firefox and will not display the frames properly. Maybe we should sent a note to their webmaster?
