Firefox (7 and newer) implements text-overflow markers on both sides of the
block per http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-ui/#text-overflow
(other browsers don't do this, yet)

The ellipsis on the left side is triggered by this rule:

span.trackerTime {
	color: #909090!important;
	font-family: arial!important;
	font-size: 9px!important;
	padding-left: 1px!important;
	margin-right: -4px!important;
	margin-left: -1px!important;
}

in http://i.fokzine.net/fp/fp2009/s/fp2009.css?20110624.css

If you don't want the ellipsis on the left side you should remove the
"margin-left: -1px" as that creates overflow that triggers a text-overflow
marker.

So this behaviour is according to the specs and the site should adjust their css?

Yes.  Please contact them if you now the language and can find any contact info

I contacted the site and they already changed the css, but is still does not work:
span.trackerTime {
	color: #909090!important;
	font-family: arial!important;
	font-size: 9px!important;
	padding-left: 1px!important;
	margin-right: -4px!important;
	position:relative!important;
    left:-1px!important;
}

Thanks for contacting them, it's good news that they are trying to fix
the issue.  The new CSS rule has the same problem as the original -
"position:relative; left:-1px;" also creates overflow.  They should just
remove that, and remove the "padding-left: 1px" in the same rule if they
want the text to start at the edge.  That is:

span.trackerTime {
	color: #909090!important;
	font-family: arial!important;
	font-size: 9px!important;
	margin-right: -4px!important;
}
