Stylesheet for Google Webmaster Tools does not load

Firefox is refusing to load the stylesheet for Google Webmaster Tools. This makes using it a bit of a mission. This is driving me nuts. I know it's not a computer wide issue as IE8 (can I use that phrase here) loads the stylesheet just fine.

Firebug gives me: <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='/webmasters/tools/css/3376195746-wmt.css'/>Failed to load source for: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/css/3376195746-wmt.css</link>

No problems with other websites, including (for example) Google Analytics, Google Adsense and so on.

It's probably something dumb, but I'm doing a lot of head scratching and can't work out what's causing it. Would love to hear from someone who's smarter than me. Be great if that was you ;)

I have the problem too, but found a work-around. I have the web developer addon loaded. When I click CSS -> Edit, the problem goes away, so it seems to be related to the addon.

I've been corrected by the author of the web dev toolbar. The issue is on google's end. They are sending the wrong mime type! Of course ie just eats it... no surprises there.

Ah, not my fault then? Hoorah (I think). Google must be having a bad week. Analytics "broke" yesterday as well. Hope they sort out the stylesheet reasonably quickly (they haven't yet today).

This works for me, too, but the page breaks once you turn off the CSS editor for that plugin. You can just minimize it, though, so it's doable for now.

Thanks for posting this workaround / temp fix....

If this is broken because of Google, they sure aren't in a hurry to fix it. I've been having problems for a week or more.
