The intel website page about fortran compilers has some issues with the way
firefox renders the columns.  It looks fine in this version of Mozilla 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922

I don't know if the page has changed recently, but I don't remember having this
problem with previous versions of Firefox

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to the above URL
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
first section of middle column of text renders under the right column of text,
with no graphic.

Expected Results:  
it should look like it does in Mozilla, or some other browser.

were seeing.

Attachment: Screenshot of Firefox incorrectly rendering said page

Here is a screenshot of the issue.  Disabling Adblock just makes the intel
graphic appear, but the text still renders wrong.

Attachment: another, similar page (same site), which also renders incorrectly

A similar page on the same website also renders wrong, but for this page it
does it all the way down (not just the first section).

the screenshot looks exactly like IE renders that page

Attachment: second link as viewed in Mozilla 1.7.3

Why would the page look fine in Mozilla, but not in Firefox? I thought they
shared the same rendering engine.
