It's because Mozilla is using relative paths in their HTML

Squirm is doing its job, but because the browser is expecting the path
to these images/css sheets, it isn't going to work.

eg, Mozilla has one of its style sheets ref'd as 'css/print.css'.

The browser sees this, and goes looking at
'http://www.microsoft.com/css/print.css'

If the sheet was ref'd as 'http://www.mozilla.org/css/print.css' there
wouldn't be a problem.

Basically, the original request is the only thing that squirm knows is
anything to do with 'www.microsoft.com'.
