This simple frameset is not working in Firefox (IE7, 8, Chrome is okay). main doesn’t appear but footer does. There’s a frame window divider flush to the top of the screen, but even after pulling that divider down, no main content is shown.

It’s validated under its DOCTYPE. Any ideas?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"/>
    <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"/>
  </head>
      <frameset rows="*,33">
          <frame name="main" src="internalpage.html" />
          <frame name="footer" src="http://www.example.com/externalpage.html" />
      </frameset>
</html>

    Okay, so it turns out it was Ad Block Plus. I’ve enabled it on Firefox to test whether certain Ajax calls were getting through, and forgot it was there.

    I’ve had another problem with Ad Block Plus in the past:

    Funny program: kills the free internet, messes up xmlhttprequests, and blocks frame content pulled from a localhost. Boo Ad Block Plus
