Huge problem with Firefox3

Could you go http://metalreviews.com/ in Firefox3 from unstable?
I asked people on irc but they had no problems with it, I don't know why I have, maybe because Radeon card?
Go to the website and then click on "New Weekly reviews".
Problems:
- everything works terrible slow
- there are visible errors, for instance firefox menu is visible in the website
I had no problems with it on Firefox2 and lots of other websites work OK.

Re: Huge problem with Firefox3

For what it's worth, it's working fine here, with an Intel card.
Did you try to rename or delete your .mozilla folder in your home?

Re: Huge problem with Firefox3

I've tried on my desktop machine with a radeon card (radeon 9600), and I have none of the problems you are mentioning either. My laptop with an onboard intel gfx chip (945GM) doesn't show this either, it all looks as it should.

Re: Huge problem with Firefox3

Babypuncher I realized now that I have this shit on many websites, have you managed to fix it? What's your hardware and software configuration?
I use xfce4, Radeon 9800 Pro with radeon driver, 1280x1024 on LCD.

Can't help you with your problem, just wanted to say that's a nice website that I didn't know about. Thanks for the link

Re: Huge problem with Firefox3

Yeah, firefox 3 is terrible with background images, in fact, I added a user style to turn them all off.

I added this to my userContent.css

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document url-prefix(http) {
    body, html {
        background-image: none !important;
    }
}

Re: Huge problem with Firefox3

I have something similar with latest firefox 3 and epiphany 2.22.2 from the official repos.

The background of the white information boxes around the content at http://last.fm/ are screwed

Strange, because I went on that page and everything is fine here.

Damn, then it's even more obscure ;D

I've got almost every CSS image background screwed with the latest gecko.

I've tried removing .mozilla, running ff as totally new user and even recompiling xulrunner. Nothing works.
