When I try to use Firebird with the HTMP chat servies chat.machine.net, I get the following:

Is the screen filled with this?

If so my guess is that this is a server configuration problem. The server is sening out the file with the wrong Mime type.
You have contact the admin about this if that is the case..

You can test it by clicking "Enter Chat Room".

This seems to happen because the server does send "/1.0 200 OK" instead of "HTTP/1.0 200 OK".

The page is being sent as txt/plain = wrong Mime Type, as far as I know.

I think the reason is not a wrong mimetype since content-type:text/html is there (is this case-sensitive?) but an invalid HTTP response, so gecko just assumes (correctly) a plain text stream.
