The test is indeed broken, in particular, "not found" pages are served as 200 instead of 404. Safari and Opera will show you the same. You can go here to see a working version of the test (from the test author) http://www.hixie.ch/tests/evil/acid/002/ and you can read his acknowledgment of the bustedness of the public test here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289480#c172 -A Matt, well, in this case you’d be wrong.

I think that FireFox 3 just doesn't pass the test. @Asa: I highly doubt that the test is broken. I think that FireFox 3 just doesn’t pass the test.

Your screenshot is the result of a the test being broken, not the Firefox browser. - A firefox 3, including betas and most of the alphas for the last year render the ACID2 test accurately.
