Bug Description

FF-3 beta, Kubuntu-8.04. Some sites, for example http://bash.org.ru are displayed incorrectly. Screenshot attached. Konqueror displays the site just fine (so does FF on PCLinuxOS 2007, and Windows).

It displays right on my hard 8.04 with firefox 3beta5. Report it upstream to the firefox team (being very specific on the URLs where you encounter your problem), have a look at e.g. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bug_writing_guidelines

What you see will not be fixed anymore in the current beta, possibly in a next one if the firefox team can find your specific problem.

This indeed happens with FF3. I'm using default font configuration. Once (in a several tens of reboots) it happened to me that this problem has not appeared. But in majority cases it does happen.
BTW, it happens with many other sites, kde-look.org for example (attached screenshot)

Again, in Konqueror everything works perfect (font-wise).

This is http://www.bash.org/?random in konqueror. Fonts look proportional - compare the site navigation font in upper-right, and quotes font.
My screen resolution is 1920x1080 (24"), so the font size is acceptable.

The same URL, but FF3. Notice monstrous quotes font size compared to small navigation font. The font is so big, that quotes spans to almost all of the 1920 pixel screen width.

Ok. I've nailed the bug!
If I start firefox and my screen resolution is 1920x1200 - but occures!
But if I change my screen resolution to 1280x800 and restart firefox - it looks just fine! (resizing screen to bigger resolution while firefox is running - does not trigger the bug).

1280 pixel by X axis - the last good working resolution. 1440x900 already causes problems.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
