Check http://www.geocities.com/pratiksolanki/. It's probably your contact
doing an HTTP call for a broadcasted item called user agent, which declares
to everyplace you go what you have. Mozilla lets you change that to appear
to be whatever you want. Just like a politician. If you set it to
broadcast that you're IE you still might not see some pages rendered
correctly. Moz has a prototype plugin that interprets some of the asp code
that still perplexes the non-IE browsers. Doesn't work really well yet.

Internet SIG lives.

You are not alone!

It just recently started happening here in the wife's Win98 machine
with Moz 1.6 or 1.7 also.

Rats! A terrible annoyance!
