Firefox 3.6.23 is too old on Ubuntu LTS 10.04.3 stable and it can't display some website correctly.
Look screen-shot in attachment or do it yourself by visiting this website (fr) http://www.firasofting.com/blog/2011/dennis-ritchie-est-mort-et-tout-le-monde-sen-fout/
Updating to Firefox 7.0.1 from PPA fix the problems, but you can't neither say to John Doe upgrade manually Firefox using a PPA nor upgrade Ubuntu (remember the meaning of LTS ;-))!
Maybe this website isn't w3 valid (I haven't check) but it's display correctly on Chromium, on Firefox (on the same LTS) (and even on the bad and ugly Internet Explorer!) and saying to John Doe family's "Yes, until yesterday you was using Firefox at home, at your work, anywhere, you've synced all of your bookmarks/password/etc using firefox-sync, but because of Firefox in Ubuntu isn't up to date you should now use Chromium/Opera/Other." isn't a solution!

Aymeric.
