weird problem with Firefox, contentType, Seam 2.0

[tuxzilla]

I just upgraded my app to Seam 2.0 from Seam 1.2.1. The UI in firefox is now pretty badly broken. I have mixed javascript with jstl to dynamically generate javascript through a loop. Now the same code is fine in IE, but broken in Firefox. What is weird is that when I saved the source to the same webapp directory, renamed it to *.html, then the page shows up fine in firefox. I read elsewhere JSF1.2 will set contentType to application/xhtml+xml instead of text/html. Could contentType be the cause of the problem? What would be a workaround for this?

Can I overwrite the contentType from JSF1.2 to reset back to text/html?

Thanks.

Yes Firefox will attempt to parse xhtml documents and will complain if it is not well formed. JavaScript with any form of document.write in it will cause it to break as well. I asked the same question before since I was using Google Maps and it was breaking in Firefox as a result of this.
