Why can't I open tinyurl.com pages?

I can't seem to open tinyurls with Firefox 3.0.7. I've turned off my firewall (temporarily) and my Norton Internet Security and still nothing. Any thoughts?

    You can check what is happening with the tinyurl redirect headers using Live HTTP Headers extension from the Tools menu once installed.

    I guess I'm not that tech savvy - what will that add on help me do? Just see the url the tinyurl should be directing to?

    I loaded Live HTTP Headers, but I cannot decipher what it's telling me. Got any other suggestions?
    Jennifer: glad I'm not the only one.
