If I let Firefox search for the right address by typing in whatsmyip.org
and pressing enter, it comes up with the white screen and ip address as
described below. If I type in the complete address:
http://whatsmyip.org/ , or type in whatsmyip and Alt-Enter, it comes up
with the correct home page. It is an unexpected result, to say the least
but I don't know why. Perhaps it magnifies how one needs to be even more
careful about what they plug into the address bar. This is the first
time I've seen this.

FWIW, I don't see anything but my IP at that url.
Very interesting.
When I access whatismyip.org using FireFox (Win) I get a white page with
just my IP listed. Show source shows no HTML, just the IP number.
When I access whatismyip.org using FireFox (Mac) I get a colorful page
with my IP in big type, a "What's New" blog, a sidebar full of other
services, and another sidebar full of Google ads.
Is this Mac politicking?
And Firefox on Linux gets the same thing you list for Firefox/Win.
