I also made some research on it:
"I investigated the bug and found the cause:
hr with width 8388599 or less is OK
hr with width 8388600 or greater cause problem
Body background color must be set!
It is probably a 32 bit bug because 16777216/2=8388608.
(bit of sign)
And perhaps hr has padding or margin (2*4=8).
Someone could try it with a 64 bit version of Firefox.."
This bug is first appeared here: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ firefox- 3.0/+bug/ 289839
(because I thought it was a Linux specific issue of Firefox
but later turned out that it also affected Windows version of the browser):
