We have numerous copies of FF, which we update regularly. Only one will open an svg downloaded file. What is going on?

Do you have svg enabled?

You can check the value of the pref svg.enabled on the about:config page.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig

Note that the svg.enabled pref is not used in FF4, since SVG support is hardcoded on. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617448

For what it's worth, after FF 4.01 couldn't open an SVG file I tried Chrome 11.0.696.60 unknown and it had the same problem with the same file:

Also, if you scroll the window, you can see that SOMETHING is rendering, just not what you would expect:
