User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

One or two of the colums resizeing themselves at random when i visit my website.
Use firefox and visit http://swenews.info by yourself and refresh 5+ times and
you will see that the column IMDB and its neighbours are changing width at random.
Ive tried alot to fix this but no result. The <tr width <td width doesnt seems
to have any effect. Ive managed to use trix to cover the problem .. it was worse
befor when the table width suddenly could be 10 times the width.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://swenews.info
2. Watch the column width around the IMDB column.
3. Refresh the page several times.

Actual Results:  
You will see the columns are changing size upon new refresh.

Expected Results:  
It should have the same size as i describe in <td width="here"> and not change.

Your page has 629 markup errors and you might get more consistent results if 
you use valid markup.

I also get a large number of these warnings:

WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(scount != 0) failed, file
../../../../../src/parser/htmlparser/src/nsDTDUtils.cpp, line 294
WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(scount != 0) failed, file
../../../../../src/parser/htmlparser/src/nsDTDUtils.cpp, line 294
WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(scount != 0) failed, file
../../../../../src/parser/htmlparser/src/nsDTDUtils.cpp, line 294

so it is quite possible that your markup is tickling a bug in Firefox.

Do you have a shorter testcase?

I see the weird resizing issue but the only error I get in the jsconsole is
Error: Unknown property 'filter'.  Declaration dropped.

Please create a testcase and attach it, as it's quite likely many bug-testers
may be blocked from visiting the site by filters such as Adsense which block
warez/piracy related sites.  Personally, I would not want to be visiting such a
site from work (as I just did), because it is sent through the state's system
(i'm a state employee, sorta).

Thanks for your consideration.
