Thanks for all the feedback, this has confirmed that it's a local issue and not 
a general problem.

It was difficult to imagine why the server should be sending 404 errors only 
when I was using Firefox. I have the Live HTTP Headers extension and it was 
showing perfectly valid header records for the requested page but I suspect 
that somehow Firefox was displaying the headers which should have been sent 
but somehow corrupting them in the process of sending them.

I've now "refreshed" firefox by deleting my firefox profile and everything is now 
working OK.
