Same with my OSX firefox 2.0.0.11. I can't wait to hear an explanation.

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.
