# Firefox Content Encoding Error

 * Issue has been fixed by disabling W3 Total Cache until further notice.
 * Anyone have an issue with W3 Total Cache causing a firefox Content Encoding Error
   for first-time page views? The error goes away after a page refresh (for the 
   page the error occurred on). This is not a localized issue, all users are reporting
   it.
 * Not really a big problem, as the site is really small and W3’s impact was also
   rather small, but I would like to know if there’s a simple fix for it or if anyone
   else ran into the same problem.
 * Here’s a link to download my settings file if anyone wants to take a look. Super
   basic options: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2gh8ls7ijkyeij/auburnact.org.json?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2gh8ls7ijkyeij/auburnact.org.json?dl=0)
 * Thanks!
