Problem with online timetable using Firefox

About 4 times in the past 12 hours I have tried to look up *A flight schedules on staralliance.com using my main browser, Firefox. It's not working. The response I get is: Status: 502 Bad Gateway. Description: Mal-formed reply from origin server. Please try your request again.

I've tried again, but keeps getting this response.

I switch to Safari and of course it works fine, so the timetable itself isn't broken. But it would be nice to have it work in Firefox again. Any IT folks out there want to speculate why this works for me with on Safari but not Firefox? Something I'm doing wrong?

Anyone else have problems looking up flights with Firefox?

Doesn't work for me on IE or FF on Win7. Looks like some potential problem with one of the load balancing scripts on the server farm.

Hmmm, is there a layman's explanation for what a load balancing script is?

Well, I guess I'm not alone, but the strange thing is it works just fine on Safari. The difference between the two is in Safari, the full airport name auto loads when you type in the code. On FF (and presumably IE), it doesn't.

Thanks for the reply.
