misplaced page elements

Binary package hint: firefox

Looking is better then describing. Much of the page's content, including the comment box, are shoved way over to the right. Take a look - http://www.freep.com/comments/article/20110111/OPINION05/110111075/Giffords-shooting-shows-risks-rise-for-women-in-leadership

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to improve Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox profiles can become corrupt and/or extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If a new profile helps, you might want to try to disable all your
extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can test a new profile by starting profile manager with the following command, but make sure all Firefox windows are closed first:
firefox -ProfileManager

To disable extensions, Tools > Add-ons > Find the extension >
Highlight and click 'Disable' > Restart Firefox

No joy. Rendered the same way as before although this time I did notice that the page rendered properly and then the elements that were properly placed ended up on the extreme right of the page.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this bug. Can you submit a screen shot showing the issue. Is this the only website you have the problem with. Lastly, if you have any other browsers available could you check to see if the problem is localized to just firefox please? Thanks in advance!

Here are a couple of screenshots that illustrate the problem.
