Do you get that error if you access the site or if you click a link to got to another page?
You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
- Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Error occur both ways.
Same error result in Safe Mode
No idea why or how, but I started getting a 501 error for my website. Now, the only way I can get firefox to load the site is if i type www.worklabs.ca. In every other browser, worklabs.ca works just fine.
i've cleared and reinstalled and restarted up the yin yang. Could this be a mod_security issue or some other server-related thing?
same issue here, multiple sites, always only in FF. Clearing cache does nothing.
This HAS to be a FF issue, not server-side; otherwise why does every other browser have no problems on the same sites?
Error in standard mode, but the site is accessed OK in Private Browsing mode.
