The #footer div is displayed over the "Most Recent" section if your resolution is 800x600: http://www.premax.it.pl/ff1-rendering.png What is worse, in IE this page looks ok: http://www.premax.it.pl/ie6-rendering.png (of course no rounded edges and no transparent pngs, but this problem does not affect IE). These screenshots where posted in a Polish pl.comp.os.advocacy newsgroup as a proof for a claim that "Firefox even misrenders its own website". This should be fixed asap, 800x600 is still a popular resolution in many countries. This probably because of overuse of position: absolute; You should rather use some better layout techniques.
This should be fixed by update-beta which is being tracked in Bug 260157. The new mozilla.org styles are being applied to the site, and given an overall facelift by the Mozilla Visual Design Team.

update-beta renders fine in 800x600 mode.

Attached image Rendering of u.m.o. at 800 x 600 (deleted) —
Though this isn't related to the footer issue, site pages on u.m.o. does render its content badly on smaller screens. At smaller resolutions, the right side gets crowded and runs into the text in the middle. Some of the text even runs into the star bar above. User agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Carry-over from Bug 273351 (marked as duplicate of this one) Mozilla's own extensions page is rendered better with IE6 than with FF, both with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0) and with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041208 Firefox/1.0+ See screen shots: http://shared.nidelven-it.no/raanan/Moz-Firefox http://shared.nidelven-it.no/raanan/Moz-IE Gavin Sharp's argument (in bug 273351) "This is a problem with the website's design, not Firefox." is not entirely acceptable. Firefox's challange is to do at least as well as IE in similar situations.
See Comment #7... If the site at http://update-beta.mozilla.org renders fine at 800x600 then this'll be fixed by bug 260157 which tracks the landing of that site at update.mozilla.org. :-)
This should be fixed.

I don't think you should resolve this bug as fixed when it's still not really fixed (I'm talking about what the end-users see, not the update-beta site)...
