Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?

How about with a new, empty profile?

Testcase and URL reproduced with a new, clean profile:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110508 Firefox/6.0a1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110508 Firefox/6.0a1

I can't select just the first line, but I can select it if I select more lines at the same time.

The margins of the #nav are on top of the text.  And they're transparent to painting but not to events.  See also bug 102695 (of which this might just be a duplicate).

Can not select text with left mouse button on this page and hence can't copy:
