Hello Roger.

Try deleting your Google Maps cookies ( Enabling and disabling cookies ) and see if that helps.

The user agent in your above post is quite unusual. Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; PalmSource/Palm-TunX; Blazer/4.3) 16;320x448

If you posted with Firefox then that will explain why you redirected to the mobile version of that website.

See Find what version of Firefox you are using and Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default

It is NoScript addon causing this issue, try to disable in addons configuration. Restart Firefox and see. If you really need that addon try to configure. But at least you know what is going on :)
