It turns out the problem was that the server was sending out the CSS files as type
"text/plain" but Mozilla only honors "text/css".  Hat tip to Thomas Dowling for
catching that in the data stream. Fortunately, I was able to get our hosts
webserver wrangler to add that to the MIME types so that the CSS files are served
out as "text/css".  It's always good to have the people who serve the pages on your
side. Thanks for the assists.
