PHPbb Problem in firefox

I wake up a bit early this morning, because i really want to spend some time to fix the problem with the phpbb forum in my site www.indoz.com. It works perfectly in IE but when you view the forum in firefox, it will give you blank page. I spent 1 hour last night to search on phpbb forum site, to find out if anybody else having the same problem with me. At the beginning, i was thinking it is the theme problem because i used customized theme. I have been concentrate on this theme to fix the html compliance, but still cant fix it.

Then i decide to find more information on forum, some people mentioned about turn off the gzip compression. I just give it a try, and wow….it works now in firefox.

So what is gzip compression actually? and when you need to use it?
Gzip if a compression method, which compresses the data meaning less bandwidth used, but is is a higher resource load on the server.
 When GZip Compression is enabled, the server will compress the pages before sending them. This will increase the server workload, but will decrease bandwidth usage. Enabling Gzip can reduce your bandwidth usage but it places an extra load on the server and if you have a host who complains about that sort of thing then it may cause you issues.

but i still cant find the information, why i cant turn gzip compression on so i can use it on firefox as well? anyway, for temporary i will turn this gzip compression off first to fix the blank page problem in firefox.
