Kindly note that Bugzilla is intended for people who are fixing bugs in
Firefox rather than for support of web authors.

I would guess that you would get better help, more speedily from 
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38 (linked from
the Firefox support page at http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/ )

Also, you are more likely to benefit from doing the spadework yourself,
through studying such resources as:

I have no problem though, in pointing you to the first thing you should
do, which is fix up the 94 validation errors in you page.

You might also want to produce a reduced test case showing the faulty
visual appearance

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
