Firefox for Mac is TERRIBLE.  The way it renders the CNBC TV website is
despicable.   Who works on writing the Gekco engine?

Clearly not of blocking severity.
http://moneycentral.msn.com/cnbc/tv/default.asp looks fine to me in 1.0.4 and
~1.1a2.

Works for me in latest trunk, on Mac OS X 10.2.8 and Windows XP.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050708
Firefox/1.0+

It doesn't look very nice (top links are glued together), but I see that on both
platforms. The page generates a lot of JavaScript warnings too.
