Your page has no fewer than 3263 mark-up errors in its 2488 lines.

Do you have a shorter testcase?

No, I'm sorry.
Validating the source doesn't give me very severe errors, the most errors are
reffering to invalid ID names and this <o:p>< (tag?!) and a lot of **** markup
probably generated by a wysiwyg editor.
Still, with tons of errors, Firefox should not behave like this.

The problem seems to appear right after this heading: "Using Tooltips for useful
information in WinForms Lists"

Again, I've seen random effects like this to www.softpedia.com and other sites I
 can't recall now. I can't reproduce right now but the effect is pretty much the
same.

I am going to wait to see if anyone else has a comment to make, because I
think that there is a possibility that what your screenshot shows is 
a result of something in your video driver, that is, your report may be 
platform specific. This is just a guess, though.
