Could this be some Apache thing related to gzip compression of delivery or something? e.g. perhaps firefox says it will accept gzip therefore apache somehow decided to send a gziped source file (which ff will silently ungzip). But mozilla, being older, does not advertise that it accepts gzip and therefore apache follows a different path that leads to the scripts being handled correctly. The above should serve as an example as I doubt that is the real cause but you have to think laterally to solve this one... i usually test things by telnetting to port 80.... telnet host 80 GET /myscript.php HTTP/1.1 Host: www.myservername.com <cr> <cr> Should get you some output... check the headers, check the content etc. A slightly more userfriendly approach would be to use the firebug plugin for firefox or livehttpheaders plugin and look at what the server is supplying to you.
