I think you mean http://www.facebook.com - www.fasebook.com appears to be a broken site with no content.  Updating the summary and URL.

It looks like the facebook.com landing page for logged-out users has a background that does not extend past the viewport, making it render incorrectly in Fennec (with the default 800px viewport) or in any browser window less than 960px wide.

This is not just a Fennec problem - it also happens in Firefox and in other browsers (e.g. Chrome) when the window is narrow.  Reassigning to tech evangelism.

Facebook could fix this problem on all browsers by making the background extend past the viewport, or just on mobile browsers like Fennec by adding <meta name="viewport" content="width=980"> to the head of their page.

It looks like this is still a problem. I'll CC Ilya on this and maybe he can bring it to the attention of the right people over there.

Attachment: Comparison of Chrome and Firefox

I was messing around with this and was surprised to see that Facebook seems to send a great looking website to any webkit based browser (chrome) and a crappy looking website to Firefox. See the screenshot.

I modified the Firefox user agent and verified that the Webkit version looks find in Firefox except for a small issue with the search button.

So we should really evangelize Facebook and find out why they are making mobile facebook look better on Chrome then Firefox.

So the bug was about alignment on form elements on the right side of the page.
I do not see any issues.

I'm closing it as WORKSFORME. In case they are  issues for very specific parts of the site. Open individual bugs for each issues.
