Hi.
I've forgotten about this one. And no, it's no problem anymore. This is
how I solved the problem. I found the fix on that site. Some other user
have had the same problem.

The problem is that golf.se uses general.useragent.vendor tag to see
which browser you are using, and since the person that boxed firefox for
ubuntu choosed too write in ubuntu instead of firefox, the redering gets
wrong on some pages like forum.golf.se.

But it was easy too fix:

1) Finish firefox and go to library ~/.mozilla/firefox/********.default/
(where ********* is the name of your firefox profil)
2) create a file user.js that containes the row:

user_pref("general.useragent.vendor", "Firefox");

3) start firefox
