Confirmed with latest trunk on Windows XP.

It regressed in two steps. The first one is a very long regression range: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?startdate=2008-09-30+07%3A00%3A00&enddate=2008-10-01+06%3A00%3A00

The second range is http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?startdate=2008-10-03+03%3A00%3A00&enddate=2008-10-04+07%3A00%3A00 and this can only be Bug 458440. So the first one is probably Bug 364315.

Oh well, not sure :/

It's not retrievable what exactly has broken it. It started during the first range (page became partially white), and on 3 Oct 2008 the page changed rapidly at least 3 times while only two bugs are mentioned in the mozilla central list of this day so at least both bugs have caused a change.

The site has fixed itself.
