Viewed in IE it is fine. This is a commmon complaint & related to how FF handles tables etc, but this is happening everytime on my, and other computers using FF. Past excuses for FF not displaying links, text, columns, or tables correctly has been the website, and its bad coding. This happens on many well coded websites, and this on the spreadfirefox homepage shows clearly there is a problem running a little deeper than that here, and it is AT LEAST far to easy for a page not to display as it should in FF. If it is not happening to EVERY FF 1.0 user, then it narrows down the problem perhaps, but does not mean the problem does not exist. It does on many win 2k & XP so far here for this site, & all versions of FF. There's clearly a problem here, not just on badly coded sites, but well coded ones, or theres reasons why FF is so prone to this amatuer looking display problem. It's happening on the spreadfirefox homepage, that is embarrasing & needs sorting, sorry, but it does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.navigate to www.spreadfirefox.com 2.scroll a little way down 3.look on the left column, defendingthefox link overwrites onto the centre main body text Expected Results: Displayed the link not overwriting over text, as with IE.
WFM 20041115 trunk PC/Win2000. Something probably fixed in trunk that will turn up in FF 1.1 when it goes back to trunk. This has absolutely nothing to do with build config.

Can you please whilst your at least stating that, advise where this should be then please. I browsed the categories and this seemed the most likely but us average users cannot be 100% with these terminologies. If you read my the below in full you'll notice I have tried this on XP machines also, XP Home & Professional give the same result 9/10, so yes it has worked, but it generally doesnt, so something is conflicting here. So please advise where this should go.
