nothing to do with this issue. You could view the source code of the
page and find the price. It is a rendering problem (that I, and others
cannot reproduce).
No, the price is ascii text embedded in the javascript obtained
from
content.newegg.com, and with ip6v enabled firefox and wget
consistently fail to resolve the IP for
content.newegg.com.
There is no mythical IPv6 monster eating your bytes.
True: There is an *actual* IPv6 monster eating the DNS for
content.newegg.com, no myth. 100% correlation with turning
the flag on and off in firefox as many times as I care to test it.
Almost certainly nothing to do with firefox itself though,
more likely some combination of strange an wondrous problems
with firewalls and DNS server forwarding and wot-not on the
long an winding road out of the corporate firewall I was
inside to the actual lookup of
content.newegg.com (but there
are a gazillion other <
whatever>.newegg.com URLs it has no
problem resolving).
