Description Ben Gamari 2009-03-01 21:41:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
After updating after the bulk recompile this morning, I found that Firefox was practically unusable with extremely strange layout behavior. In particular, many elements have large quantities of whitespace around them. In addition, text on some pages is several orders of magnitude too large.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.1-0.7.beta2.fc11.x86_64

Moving my ~/.mozilla folder out of the way makes no difference.
Comment 4 Ben Gamari 2009-03-01 21:51:29 UTC 
Also,

xulrunner-1.9.1-0.9.beta2.fc11.x86_64
Comment 5 Yanko Kaneti 2009-03-01 22:01:50 UTC 
see bug 487844
Perhaps downgrading nspr would fix it for you.
Comment 6 Ben Gamari 2009-03-01 22:03:47 UTC 
Reverting to the following doesn't fix the issue,

firefox-3.1-0.6.beta2.fc11.x86_64.rpm
xulrunner-1.9.1-0.7.beta2.fc11.x86_64.rpm
Comment 7 Ben Gamari 2009-03-01 22:07:11 UTC 
Indeed, revert nspr to the following fixes the issue,

nspr-4.7.3-2.fc10.x86_64.rpm
