From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2001062815

I maintain the website http://www.thisisharmony.com.  I use MS frontpage to
create and manage the site.  I use the Mozilla browser to test how the page
looks in a browser other than IE.  The main index page of thisisharmony.com
always looked perfect in Mozilla throught 0.9.1.  Yesterday I downloaded the
0.9.2 version & installed it.  (after uninstalling my previous version [0.9.1]).
 After installing 0.9.2, the Mozilla browser no longer displays the page
correctly.  There is a menu bar at the top of the screen that uses a javascript
component that does not display right (colors are off, sometimes have to reload
the page to see the menu bar) and it inserts a row of text that doesn't belong
at the bottom of the page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.view http://www.thisisharmony.com in 0.9.1 browser
2.view http://www.thisisharmony.com in 0.9.2 browser
3.

Actual Results:  the page does not display correctly in 0.9.2

Expected Results:  release builds less often - quality over quanity.

I never had any trouble at all displaying the page in the Mozilla browser until
installing the 0.9.2 build

The screenshot shows what I see on that page with linux build 2001-07-06-08.

Could you post the IE screenshot so we can see what the difference is?  One
obvious problem with the JS/CSS, by the way, is in
http://www.thisisharmony.com/styles.js:

var fFONT = 	"arial"; 
var fSIZE = 	13;
var aLINK = 	"#ffffff";
var bFont = 'font-family: ' + fFONT + '; font-size: ' + fSIZE + 'px; color: ' +
aLINK + '; ';
if (mz7 || ns6) {document.write('.menubar \{' + zOrder + ' font-family: ' +
bFont +  bgColor + ' \}');}

note that "font-family: " + bFont will give you invalid CSS...
