Hello,

I am developping a social networking site in rails, it can be found at  
the url www[dot]string[dot]be

My problem is that firefox doesn’t seems to find/interpret the css  
linked to it. Everything works fine in other browsers (IE, safari,  
Opera) but not in firefox.

Does anybody have a clue ?

Geoff

Your server sends CSS files with the wrong MIME type. From headers:

Request:

GET /stylesheets/scaffold.css?1163928878 HTTP/1.1  
Host: www.string.be  
\<…\>  
Accept: text/css,_/_;q=0.1

Response:

HTTP/1.x 200 OK  
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 10:59:11 GMT  
Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.4.4-0.dotdeb.3 with  
Suhosin-Patch mod\_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e  
\<…\>  
Content-Type: text/plain

So, instead of text/css server uses text/plain for CSS files. Check  
your configuration.

Geoff,

Did you ever resolve this? I’m having a similar problem with my host  
serving up one page as text/plain.
