Both Netsccape 7.01 and Mozilla 1.2.1 demonstrated the same problem although Netscape 6.02 did not have the same problem.

Problem occurs if a long string of text without any white-spaces is placed inside a tables (may also be relevant outside the table but I have not tried it). IE and Opera force wrap the text to fit inside the table width but New Netscape and Mozilla does not and the result is an extended table which can go well beyond the page.
As a webdesginer, my priority is to make the page look the same while viewed with different browsers.
Another example can be seen here

The string in question is the same, since they are not many instances of long strings without white-space except in http headers.

Reproducible: Always

I have tried with CSS, manually inputing width for the table and the columns but was not able to get Mozilla to wrap the text.

The effect should be seen at the line displaying
HTTP_ACCEPT

text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,video/x-mng,image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif;q=0.2,text/css,*/*;q=0.1

Not sure if this is a problem or not. From looking at the source, the Table is
defined with a width of "100%" (and thus it is a problem). However, further down
is a TD with a width of "150".

If I remember correctly, mixing percentages and pixel values is not a good idea.
What happens if you remove the width="150" ?

despite any errors in the sample, bugzilla has problems with long strings in tables.
