On amazon.de under "Sonderangebote" (special offers), FF4 RC1 doesn't show the content in the lower section of the web page. No special offers are shown in this case. This problem is reproducible. With all other browsers, the content is shown.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.amazon.de
2. Go to "special offers" (Sonderangebote)
3. In the lower region of the web page, the special offers are not shown with FF4 RC1.
Actual Results:
No special offers are shown.
Expected Results:
It should show the special offers.
Same problem here using the RC1 on Mac OS X.
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Works though with the latest 3.6 build as well as with Safari.

Error: assignment to undeclared variable Deal
Source file:
http://z-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/goldbox/client-side/csld_multi_category_center_js-v6._V173145405_.js
Line: 368
This is the site issue.
This problem occurs due to misuse strict mode in
csld_multi_category_center_js-v6._V173145405_.js
TE?
Whiteboard: TE?
As the box "Blitzangebote" is likely to be removed after the special offers have expired, the source code of the page in question.
Look for "Blitzangebote" when inspecting the html source code.
It looks like Java Scripting is not handled correctly in this special case. The box "Blitzangebote" ain't showed at all using FF4 RC1.
Can confirm the behaviour described in this bug. I'm running Firefox RC1 on Fedora 15 Alpha, 64bit.
I used Google Chrome for comparison on the same system. Google Chrome shows the ad-box in question.
Summary: FF4 doesn't show the content of the web page → FF4 doesn't show the content of the web page at Amazon.de
This bug is very annoying. You never know if the web page, you are surfing on, contains more data than it virtually displays.

grr, mid-air
This is a bug that Amazon already fixed on their en-us page (bug 627531).
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
So, what's the solution for this?
Amazon.de will eventually fix this issue, I'm sure.
But I guess there are a lot of websites out there with the exact same issue. That's because they're tested against Firefox 3.6 which shows a different behaviour in this situation.
As the bug report has been moved I guess this is not a show stopper for releasing the final version of Firefox 4?

The solution is that the site will fix the bug.

No because this is not something that can or should be fixed in the source code.

It's a kind of weird. With all other Browsers, there is no trouble showing the content of the page. So, you say, it's not a browser problem, but rather a bug of the web page, right?

It's in fact fixing an old bug, that Firefox previously accepted code as strict that didn't match the strict criteria. The huge downside though is cutting off backwards compatibility. So, making a choice for either keeping the old behaviour or being strict leads to complaints :(.

For Amazon.de this seems to be fixed now. The script for the box has been replaced by a new version:
http://z-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/goldbox/client-side/csld_multi_category_center_js-v16._V183555462_.js
This new version besides numerous other changes contains a replacement of the line in question from:
Deal = {};
to
window.Deal = {};
Hopefully other sites with similar problems will be fixing this soon as well. Otherwise Firefox 4.0 users might encounter problems for a a while...
