Confirming with

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20091007 Minefield/3.7a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

You don't need to click fast, just click the "Turniere" link on the left. It seems to be time dependent if you get the same page but with a bigger table. The table has neither class nor id, so it's the table stuff in the CSS which should be the problem.

It's also no caching issue, maybe completely random?

I can't reproduce this on Windows Vista with latest trunk with html5.enable to true. But I do see it with html5.enable to false.

When you make this:

* #content td
{
    font-size:12px;
}

the error is a little bit fixed. now the table dont crashes. but the border color changes to from black to gray. ;)

It's just a fix. Not a real solution, or?

I can't reproduce this (the increased font-size) with Firefox 3.0 so it seems a regression. I'll try to find more info about the regression later, if I'm lucky within 12 hours.

I can't reproduce it anymore, possibly the code of the page has changed.
If you want to keep this bug open, you need to upload a testcase:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Reducing_testcases
In any case this bug will probably be fixed for Firefox 4, when html5.enable will be set to true by default.
You can try it out:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
and in about:config set the preference html5.enable to true.

Sounds like this was fixed by the html5 parser.  Please reopen if that's not the case.
