I was using FireFox 3.0.5. Actually the TAMIL fonts were getting displayed properly  initially. I uninstalled the FireFox 3.5.2 and  installed the FireFox Community Edition 1.5.0.1-tamil. Some days later I uninstalled the FireFox Community edition and intalled the FireFox 3.5.2 verion. In this the tamil fonts are not getting displayed properly. Some of the letters are displayed in a weird manner. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall the existing firefox.
2. Install the FireFox Community Edition 1.5.0.1-tamil
3. Uninstall the same.
4. Install latest version of Firefox 3.5.2
5. Open http://www.google.co.in and select the language TAMIL.
Actual Results:  
The Tamil fonts are not getting dislayed properly.

Expected Results:  
The Tamil fonts should get dislayed properly.

I can attach the anapshots of the page in IE8, Chrome 2.0.172.5 and FireFox 3.5.2.
But in this site there is no option to add files.
