A page with <div style="overflow: auto;"> and many lines with '&nbsp;' causes
Firefox to display garbage after a few KB of text. Example pages:

http://users.quick-line.ch/thomasm/test1.htm
http://users.quick-line.ch/thomasm/test2.htm
http://users.quick-line.ch/thomasm/test3.htm

Basically, the test page starts with:

<html>
<head><title>Testcase</title></head>
<body>
<div style="overflow: auto;">

then this block is repeated until the file is about 120 KB:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g<br>

The file ends with:

</div>
</body></html>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the page
2. Scroll down
3. Watch the garbage

Actual Results:  
Garbage is rendered after scrolling down.

Expected Results:  
The page should render correctly.
