should you want to test this page http://www.agoravox.fr
both screenies come from two different arch boxes...

Re: Firefox rendering weirdness
are you running i686 or x86_64?
and
have you tried reinstalling it?
Don't fight it, it's gonna happen.

Re: Firefox rendering weirdness
thanks for your reply.
i'm currently running i686, this arch box is brand new, installed last monday. the problem was there since the very beginning.
i'm now running 2.0.0.12 freshly build this morning to check if that would change anything but it doesn't.
there are some really weird issues e.g. only some images, from time to time, won't be displayed. i've seen some websites with this similar problems displayed properly later (no idea why), aur was one of them, mozdev as well...

Re: Firefox rendering weirdness
this is how it looks with epiphany, layout seems fine but background follows my gtk theme :S
i've tried another theme to check if it can help but it doesn't (for my FF problem i mean)

Re: Firefox rendering weirdness
Hi bangkok_manouel!
Try changing the UserAgent string of the browser as the Wiki says.
I was having lots of problems with MSN Spaces rendering until I changed it. In my firefox(with UserAgent Firefox/2.0.0.11) that site looks ok 8o).
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
