That's a problem with that page and HTML5 parsing in "modern" browsers. The webmaster needs to fix that page.


Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Pref = html5.parser.enable = double-click that pref to toggle it to false

You'll then be able to see that web page.

There is a lot wrong with the code on that page (unclosed comment tags and misplaced </head><body>):

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<title>Archives of the Vanagon Mailing List</title>

<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="vanagon_files/vw.css">

<!--- img src="/img/eurovan.gif" width=179 height=130 alt="EuroVan"
     align=left>
<!---img src="/img/vanagon_popped.gif" width=182 height=130
     alt="Vanagon" align=right>

Should be:

<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Archives of the Vanagon Mailing List</title>

<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="vanagon_files/vw.css">

<!-- img src="/img/eurovan.gif" width=179 height=130 alt="EuroVan"
     align=left -->
<!-- img src="/img/vanagon_popped.gif" width=182 height=130
     alt="Vanagon" align=right -->

</head><body>
