Fedora's Firefox incorrectly renders a valid XHTML 1.0 transitional page
Last modified: 2008-07-08 13:17:03 EDT
Description of problem: Fedora's builds of Firefox (2.0.0.14 on Fedora 8 and 3.0.1 on Fedora 9) incorrectly renders a valid XHTML 1.0 transitional page at this URL: http://www.msg.gouv.qc.ca/service_aerien/service_aerien.html Fedora's builds of Firefox are the only ones to exhibit this problem. That's why I didn't kick the problem upstream (see below for versions and platforms tested). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * firefox-3.0-1.fc9.i386 * firefox-2.0.0.14-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Paste the URL http://www.msg.gouv.qc.ca/service_aerien/service_aerien.html in the address bar 3. See for yourself Actual results: The right-hand column of the page is displayed centered at the bottom of the page which is not the desired outcome. Expected results: The right-hand column (with the search tool) should be rendered on the right side of the page, below the navigation bar. Additional info: 1- The same page is displayed correctly by the current versions of Firefox 3.0 in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), OpenSuSE 11.0 and Windows XP; Opera (on Fedora, Ubuntu and Windows XP) and Internet Explorer 7.0 (on Windows XP). 2- The HTML and the CSS both passed validation. The W3C validation URLs follow: HTML: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.msg.gouv.qc.ca%2Fservice_aerien%2Fservice_aerien.html CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.msg.gouv.qc.ca%2Fservice_aerien%2Fservice_aerien.html&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en
Created attachment 311213 [details] The page rendered with the latest versions of firefox 3 (Fedora 9 top; Ubuntu 8.04 bottom)
Your fonts are clearly different in the two screenshots. For me with my font settings, it appears fine, but if I tweak them a little bit, I can reproduce your problem. This seems more to be a bug in the website expecting certain fonts/sizes. However, as a workaround, you can tweak your font settings in GNOME or Firefox to fix this.
