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

I get the following error in Firefox 3.0.3 when trying to access Bloomberg.com

"The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression."

Clearing cache and cookies solves the problem! (Tools -> Clear Private Data; it is enough to select only cache and cookies)

    address bar "about:config"
    find network.http.use-cache
    set it to false

    find network.http.accept-encoding

    erase the string entirely or
    set it as;
    gzip,deflate,compress;q=0.7 or gzip,deflate;q=0.9,compress;q=0.7

    then restart firefox & test

    right-click the above settings
    & select "reset" if thease fail
