mediawiki website rendered incorrectly

[Mike Dekaucher]

A website which uses the MediaWiki software is being rendered incorrectly in the latest version of Firefox for Linux. The website can be found here: http://www.fembotwiki.com/. The navigation bar is supposed to appear on the left of the screen next to the main content portion. Instead, the navigation bar is on the left below everything else.

I first noticed this error while I was using the nightly builds of Firefox. I stopped using them recently, but after Firefox updated last night I saw this error returning.

I have tried to view the web page with all of my extensions and plugins disabled, but it still displays wrong.

I am using 64 bit Xubuntu 11.10, but I also saw this problems on 32 bit Xubuntu 10.04 and 32 bit Ubuntu 10.04.

This is affecting Firefox 9.0.1. The website mentioned uses MediaWiki: 1.11.0, PHP: 5.2.17 (cgi-fcgi), and MySQL: 5.1.53-log.

I'm unable to reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" with Firefox 21.0. Are you still experiencing this bug?

[Mike Dekaucher (miked)]

Hello,
Thanks for the email. I have not seen this bug for about a year in
Firefox in Xubuntu, although to digress I have seen it in the default
browser on my Android phone. As far as I'm concerned, the bug can be
considered fixed.
Thanks.
