   Define "all".  Define "work".  "iw" not much, I'd say.

   How many files do you see in the directories under:

      ftp://antinode.info/moz_test/

In fact, there are three files in each of these:

      ftp://antinode.info/moz_test/dir_all
      ftp://antinode.info/moz_test/dir_none
      ftp://antinode.info/moz_test/dir_some

Which is why I suggested comparing results with a (brainless)
command-line FTP client (where _you_ can interpret the file
listing, instead of expecting some lame computer program to do
it right).

   Perhaps "sol10 firefox" (whatever that is) does better, but
Firefox version 3.5.3 ("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS
X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3") does
not work correctly on these directories.  There's a bug report
somewhere in Bugzilla for it, but apparently people who care
are scarce.
