I would not say nobody else sees it, unless I am a nobody else.

Yes, sorta. The page mostly likely contains buggy javascript code.
First, the page takes a really long time to download. The throbber will
eventually stop, but I suspect this is a timeout rather than a clean
completion. Second, Moz does not like the javascript. With Seamonkey,
use Tools->Web development->Error console. Clear the residual errors and
reload the page and you will see the relevant errors.

The first and second issues may or may not be related.

I have no way of knowing whether or not the javascript errors are
cross-platform. However, different platforms can and do react differently
to these kinds of errors.

FWIW, I was able to get the page to load correctly once or twice, but
given the javascript errors, this is not entirely unexpected. Random
garbage can look like good data if you are lucky.
