Problem encoding page for sites like facebook and myspace, sometimes all pages

[James Viglianese]

Binary package hint: firefox

I've only gotten this a few times before, but this time its happening more frequently. This is the error I keep getting for facebook, myspace, and sometimes all sites word for word

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression. * Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

This only started happening recently, and by recently, I mean 10 minutes ago. I can get facebook, and most other pages to load eventually if I press the "try again" button enough. but myspace won't at all for whatever reason. is my installation damaged? or does this happen when a site is under maintenance or changing?
