In Firebird, the text is "mixed" together (like overlayed), and you can't see the full page, just about 1/3 of it, and the footer bar is in the middle of the page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open http://derStandard.at (main newspaper in austria) 2. 3. Actual Results: display incorrect Expected Results: mozilla displays fine, firebird not.
They're doing bad browser detection. If I change my Firebird UA string to a Mozilla UA string, the page lays out fine. You might write to the site and ask them to fix whatever scripts they're using to do browser detection. ->TE

I get mangled display in SeaMonkey/trunk 20030923 (reloading the page fixes it!). In Firebird (20030923, too) it's ok. However, in both browsers the site rather isn't too wide...
Dup of bug 219693, which has a testcase. I don't think this is a browser detection thing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 219693 ***
