Pages

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
