I get the same exact layout in Netscape 4 and Opera, and looking at the source
it looks like that's what the site is designed as....  What makes you think this
is a Mozilla bug, exactly?

I had assumed it was a mozilla bug because the page rendered correctly in IE

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Interesting.  IE/Solaris shows it just like Mozilla, Opera, NS4.

This site now redirects to eBay's Photography category. Absent a new URL, I think this one's FIXED.
