Steps to reproduce:

on my website www.arthurx.org/index.html i have used the ::first-line pseudo-element
for all <p>


Actual results:

The lay out engine of firefox decides the line end of the first line. 
Normally the red and blue columns are much smaller


Expected results:

Normally the big blue and red column are much smaller. FireFox seems to add much space, without apparent reason. Only after the addition of the  ::first-line and ::first-letter this happened.

Chrome seems to do this better.

Thanks a lot for all the good work
and greetings Arthur

If the issue is only the :first-letter then this is a duplicate of bug 385615.  I could imagine :first-letter causing a similar issue, though.
The main issue with the site in question certainly looks like :first-letter, though.  (I meant "I could imagine :first-line..." in the previous comment.)

Thanks for reporting this, though.
