From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID: 2001101201
Load the page, the center region of the page
( Below the "Tahoe central member LOG ON" frame and to the
right of the "Search tahoe central" frame )
has a dark blue background except for a white square in the
upper left hand corner.
Load the page under netscape 4.77 and the background appears white.
I believe the white background is correct, since some of the text is
mostly illegeble with the blue background.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the URL under mozilla
2. load it under netscape
3. compare the results

I see this too, win98SE 2001101803
confirming, OS -> All
I'm not that knowledgable about HTML, but validator.w3.org had small furry
offspring when I fed it this site.
NB: doing "view source" on this page gives radically different javascript*
depending on what browser you're using. I didn't spot any differences in the
bulk of the page source, but I wouldn't be surprised if Moz was being fed
different HTML to other browsers.
*The javascript has some very suspect browser sniffing going on :
var n = document.layers ? 1 : 0
var ie = document.all ? 1 : 0
I wouldn't be surprised if the server-side client sniffing is similarly dodgy.
The dark blue appears to be the background from the <body> tag. At first
glance, there's a style which should be applied to make the whole caboodle
white. I'll try to cook up a simplified test case.
I suspect that this is style, rather than layout.

Got it. Test cases to follow, demonstrating what's going on.
The page has an HTML-style comment (i.e. <!-- ..... -->) inside its
<style></style> tags. Moz doesn't like this one little bit. Remove that
comment, and you ahve a white background. And some dodgy browser sniffing, but
there you go.

OK, this is NOT layout.
From comments in the very-similar-sounding bug 105233, I suspect that HTML
comments are illegal inside style sheets, which makes this ->tech evangelism
Since I'm not 100% about that, cc'ing bzbarsky@mit.edu : Boris, can you confirm
that I'm not talking rubbish on this.

Yup. The only sort of HTML comment that's legal in a sheet is for inline sheets
(<style> element) and like this:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* style rules go here */
-->
</style>
This is allowed for compatibility with really old browsers who understand not
the <style> element.
