[shrug] ok. That's why I used the word 'suspect' instead of something
more certain.

What Firefox addons do you have enabled?
What security software?
Do you have a HOSTS file that might have it in?
Do you have anything in your firewall settings?
Is your borwser history and cache empty?
Are you sure there are not cookies in the way?
Have you tried Firefox in Safe Mode?

What is the error message, and what do you see in the browser status bar
(at the bottom of the screen) while you are trying to open it?

What happens if you try that css file itself as the site address?
http://www.btopenzone.com/CSS/print.css
I get a page of code/script, from the css file

and then http://www.btopenzone.com/CSS/
(I get a customised 500 error page which I would expect)

and then the vanilla http://www.btopenzone.com/
I get a BTopenzone page with a picture of a girl in a woolly hat and the
word CELEBRATE in big print

And in iCab 2.9.9 on MacOS 9.0.4, though I think the CSS file is
incomplete. Here it is, in full:

div#header div#top-nav {display: none;}
div#primary-nav {display: none;}
div#nav-col {display: none;}
div.related-col {display: none;}
div#footer div#footer-cols div.footer-col {display: none;}
div#footer-essentials {display: none;}

div.main-col {width:
