This is a problem with the website's design, not Firefox.

While a redesign of the website should solve this problem, IE does a much better
job of rendering the page than Firefox (see second screen shot). 

It may not be considered as a Firefox problem, but it could be considered as a
challenge: get Firefox to overcome these problem (a la IE, if necessary) for
websites where there is such an issue, and present something useful instead of
the garble.
