Because I’m a Technical Idiot

Does anyone else out there using the Mozilla Firefox browser have problems viewing Blogspot-based blogs?
The problem I have is that after the first couple of paragraphs all I get is gibberish that looks like this (taken from this blog):
Since Iraq remains under U.S. military occupation, it seems unlikely that the Iraqi police would have held Berg, or any other American, for such a length nd ttsuo2mx;}1thia s1px;margin:1px;colooaa le:5px;oSrp!on,ottee fintita Iag/* LS a suaasserioW,5f”frTu. mix;otowowol=”alternate” type=”apor” cP amargin:1px;”gDoi at nigh 0px orm:lowercase;} h7{t A Deca leloIoat nigh 0px ed attaikel-ali* Lsf timesys and theeoa1″ cP amargin:1px;px;ou,ottesylSoa nat8 bP a h7{t A D”gDois.

Sometimes reloading the page works, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t have the problem at all in IE. The Firefox version I’m using is 0.8.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas as to what might be causing it?
I mean, I don’t read that many Blogspot blogs, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to read the ones I do. Opening up a separate browser just to look at them is kind of annoying.
