If the site is viewable from Windows using Firefox, why not from Linux.
That is the only reason this bug(?) was submitted.

I would like to say that it is true.
Firefox does not show some pages correctly.

For me a page (Arabic and English together) does not appear correctly.

I have attached screen shot from same web site, when it is English it is OK.
But when it is in Arabic it is not OK.

Thank you.
