Ubuntu 8.04 includes Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 which does not play nice with
aprs.fi. OH7LZB commented about it on his blog

There is a bug logged against Firefox 3.0 regarding this problem because
the site works fine in 2.x. So until it gets fixed go and find a copy of
Firefox 2.x and install it alongside 3.0.

Cheers,
