Firefox cannot load the correct font when loading it from a CDN. Other browsers don´t have this problem.

My website: http://momardi.com

Platform: Linux server, with Apache, Wordpress 3.1 and W3 Total Cache plugin

My CDN: Amazon S3 with user read rights for the fonts

CSS font-face code:

@font-face {

 font-family: 'SansationRegular';
 src: url('http://momardi.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/themes/v1/fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.eot');
 src: local('SansationRegular'),
      url('fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
      url('http://momardi.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/themes/v1/fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
      url('http://momardi.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/themes/v1/fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
      url('http://momardi.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/themes/v1/fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.svg') format('svg'),
      url('fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
      url('fonts/Sansation_Regular-webfont.svg') format('svg');
      font-weight: normal;
      font-style: normal;

}

htaccess code:

<IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin http://momardi.s3.amazonaws.com Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" </IfModule>

<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|svg|woff)$">

   <IfModule mod_headers.c>
       Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
   </IfModule>

</FilesMatch>

Firefox downloads the font (I can see that with Live Http Headers), so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I don't know why Firefox isn't using it. If I download the font and change the font-family to Sansation then I see the font.

I can also see Firefox downloads the fonts in the "net" tab of Firebug but I don´t know why is not using them :-(
