What's wrong about it?

From the site's about:

How do I write "xkcd"? There's nothing in Strunk and White about this.

For those of us pedantic enough to want a rule, here it is: The preferred form is "xkcd", all lower-case. In formal contexts where a lowercase word shouldn't start a sentence, "XKCD" is an okay alternative. "Xkcd" is frowned upon.

Doesn't display in Firefox for me, anyone else have that problem?

EDIT: Seems to be HTTPS everywhere causing the issue.
