AdWords "System Down" error

Well, this is certainly a new experience for me:

AdWords is down for scheduled maintenance, but Firefox isn't quite capable of showing a decent error message here, all I see is what appears to be XML mixed with a weird UTF-8 character. What the page actually should say (Konqueror works fine):

AdWords is temporarily down due to system maintenance until approximately 4:00pm PST on 29th July. Please note that your campaigns are running normally during this short downtime. We apologise for any inconvenience.

UTF-8 problems in Konqueror, now also in Firefox. What's a man supposed to do? Download MSIE for Linux?
