Sounds like Wikipedia thinks your Firefox can handle embedded TeX, and is therefore not delivering a PNG image to you. See if you can change your user preferences. For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula MediaWiki uses a subset of TeX markup, including some extensions from LaTeX and AMSLaTeX, for mathematical formulae. It generates either PNG images or simple HTML markup, depending on user preferences and the complexity of the expression. In the future, as more browsers are smarter, it will be able to generate enhanced HTML or even MathML in many cases. (See blahtex for information about current work on adding MathML support.)
