Well, that is the weird part. The generated link seemed to be the same as for 
Chrome, but gave me a 404. I tried reloading, clearing the cache and 
reloading, restarting FF, still 404...

Just tried it again. All goes well, takes me through the download page, click 
on the download button, that takes me to the Contributing page, then it still 
throws a 404. The actual link it generates is 
<http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86_64_install-
rpm_en-US.tar.gz>

OK must be the URL. Just pasted into Chrome and Opera, and got the same 404. 
Yet Chrome still functions correctly if I start from the original test page 
(Chrome generates 
<http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86_install-
rpm_en-US.tar.gz>, which seem to be the same. The URL shown in the address bar 
at the Contributing page is 
<http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=mirrorbrain&files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86_install-
rpm_en-US.tar.gz>.
