Facebooker talk - Oct 2008 - loading wrong type of content in firefox

I''m stuck on this weird problem and hoping maybe someone has solved
this before.

My applications has a facebook client and a regular web client.  The
application renders fbml.erb or html.erb pages
depending on the type of request.  Things have been working correctly
until I introduced application.fbml.erb.

Prior to the introduction to this file, the server response to
different types correctly.  Now when receiving a text/html
(request.format),
the server response with application.fbml.erb page.  To make things
more confusing, this only happens in firefox (3.0.3 under os x), but
not on safari.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi Zhao,

I''m not sure why this happens, but I remember having similar issues
and they seemed to go away when I explicitly specified the layout in
my application.rb with this line:
layout ''application''

Let me know if you find the root cause though; my understanding is
that the explicit reference should really be redundant.
