I have Googled this a fair amount, and checked the Mozilla support
forums, but the only similar-sounding problem I found anyone having was
suffered by an OSX user. I am running Firefox on XP SP2.
Basically, on certain pages the text will not wrap at the far right and
hangs off the edge of the window. It can also be messily overlapping in
places. This only happens on certian sites which render fine in IE7.

Has anything like this been reported in 24HSHD?

Anyone know what to do? I could try reinstalling FF I guess, but would
prefer a fix first.

Thanks

Might try Alt+V-Y-N - View, page StYle, No style

Not likely. This is a general group, and not specific to browser issues.

How about providing a URL to a page that exhibits this 'problem' so
someone can see if the page is actually coded poorly, rather than blame
it on a superior browser.

No, but they discuss in the Firefox Support Group.

This page renders fine in IE, but the text hangs off to the right in FF
for me:

It might be poor coding. That isn't much of a solution though sadly. I
suppose I will have to start mailing the webmasters if so...

Perhaps I just need to reinstall after all.

Maybe, have to looked?

There is alt.html where browser quirks are often discussed which makes
it more on topic than a general group.

Why would a reinstall fix a, likely to be rendering issue?

What ver of FF?

What about a small screen shot showing the issue?

Ok in SM 1.1.8, FF 2.0.0.9, Opera 9.20 on Win XP Pro SP2, also okay in
Moz 1.7 on Solaris 10 x86.

Then check it yourself,

http://validator.w3.org/
paste in the site URL.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...line&group= 0
This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!
Result: Failed validation, 5 Errors

IE6 wont even load XHTML served correctly, it wants to save the page as
a file. Don't have IE7 up just now.

They are identifying the content as text/html and rendering the page as
XHTML 1.0 Trans doctype.

As I say IE has issues, and I only use application/xhtml+xml with valid
XHTML pages. Anything that isn't stays at text/plain and HTML 4.01
Strict usually.

The xml version line says encoding UTF-8 while the HTTP is saying

Might want to try, http://browsershots.org/ for checking in other
browsers.

It's possible there is an issue in IE quirks mode, loading from a proxy,
rendering issue due to bug in code, slow link.

I am seeing A with an acute (IIRC) in the address, seems odd as well but
there are lots of them.

Okay, something here's really fucked up.

When viewing your two examples, neither one "hangs off to the right" for
me. Their coding is quite dissimilar, too. The CCTV page works fine with
a browser window 'round 600 pixels wide before a horizontal scroll bar
appears.

The barkism page has more legible code, but both pages have errors.

Perhaps you have set up some user option that causes what you see.
