Description

Go to my.yahoo.com.  Select one of the news stories. When you read the news
story every line will be centered which looks wrong.

Examples, though they may not be there when you read this, are

Looks fine to me with today's build. BTW, this sounds just like bug 30168.

I know it's similar!  I swear this is happening to me on Windows and Linux.  Is
there some pref that I might have set that is causing this?  This is my debug
build from this morning.

It was a pref.  I had

user_pref("nglayout.compatibility.mode", 1);

When I took it out it works correctly.  Just out of curiosity, what does this
pref mean and how did I get it?

You know. I honestly don't know. I guess either Kipp or Steve Clark must have 
added that preference.

I'm glad we got this figured out.
