Works for me with the Mozilla builds above. The feed preview has come on a long way since 2.0b2 (which was actually from 20060821). It's very hard to work out what is going on with Debian/Ubuntu builds because they patch pretty heavily, and the version is not consistent with the build date.

Possibly more significant than build date, it works for me with the default theme - feed preview is under the theme's control, and your theme may not have noticed yet that it needs to change colors.

I bet it would work fine if you tried
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/firefox-2.0.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz

I've tried with firefox-2.0.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz and a clean .mozilla directory, and it works very well.. so the problem is at Ubuntu package. thanks!
