The world longest webpage
(http://www.recordholders.org/de/laengste/lang-e.htm) is extremly
short when viewed in firefox. THAT IS NO FUN :(

only about 7 inches long. Please, someone help solve this problem!
It even says that it works with any browser.

long  in IE.

Actual Results:  
Its only about 7 inches log, it's sposed to be 351 miles log. It is 351 miles

I guess its noo that important, so I lowered the Severity

Attachment: small testcase

Minimal(?) testcase.
The numbers are not as random as they seem. Reducing any of them by 1 causes a
scrollbar to appear. Other changes cause the content of the top <tr> to appear.

The fourth tr (the one with height="0") is also necessary to fully reproduce.

My guess is some overflow problem somewhere.

Looks like "Layout - tables", but I might be wrong.

It's a duplicate.  Search by URI.

Mano, is there a reason you removed the URL from the URL field?

If I knew, I would have marked it duplicate... ;)  All I know is that we have
existing bugs filed on "the world's longest webpage".

> and what is URI?

The thing you type into your web browser to access the page.

URI is more general, see http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/web/uri_url_urn.html.

I couldn't find recordholders.org anywhere but in this bug. Maybe you were 
thinking of bug 256880? It's description is pretty close to this one.

I don't have such bug in my Firefox 2.0.0.2 .
So should we discuss on old versions ?
I suggest you to install this version if you want to have such a fun.

I forgot I filed this bug, it appears fixed in Firefox 2. I doubt the ancient looking webpage was re-coded.

The fix seems unknown.
