I'm running Firefox on both the Windows and the Mac machines.  Michal is =
right, forcing HTML via ?format=3Dhtml in the URL does the trick.  It =
would be odd if two instances of Firefox formed the request differently. =
 It could be related to Firefox tooling I have installed on the mac.

I don't have access to the Windows machine atm, but Firebug on the Mac =
indicates the following Accept header is used (with or without =
?format=3Dhtml appended to the URL):
Accept: =
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=3D0.9,*/*;q=3D0.8,applic=
ation/json

Since text/html is always given priority in the request header, it looks =
like the server takes extra steps to handle the URL parameter correctly. =
 Thanks for your help.
