Could you attach some screenshots of the rendering in Firefox and Chrome to see the difference, please.

The inline style of this webpage is broken, why this part "<div style="line-height:16.6667px;display:inline!important">" is repeated a bunch of times? There is no need to do that.

The problem is that the page has (redundant) inline elements nested more than 200 levels deep, which means it runs into MAX_FRAME_DEPTH in nsInlineFrame::Reflow() (or perhaps somewhere else where the depth of the frame tree is checked).

res,

If you are the author of that webpage, then you can fix it by removing dozens and dozens of <div> containers, by removing dozens and dozens of <br /> elements, remove all of the <font> elements.

You should seek assistance and support in web authoring discussion forums/newsgroups in your language (German).

or use a search engine

Your website would have fewer problems (more consistent across browsers) and would be easier to maintain (faster to download, faster to be rendered too).

res is this your Web site?

As mentioned in the bug a couple of times, the depth in the markup will likely make the markup fail.

That said it's very similar to this issue

Google Sites Editor seems to be a mess for simple user.

I might eventually contact Google about it.

The pages look the same in Firefox and Chrome now.
