Looks like your browser is having some sort of problem parsing their
website styling.  Do you use a custom style sheet, that overrides a
site's styling, on your browser?
Not intentionally.  I know nothing about style sheets.  I did recently try
to run firefox 3 beta... perhaps that or something else I did corrupted
my firefox environment.  I moved my .mozilla directory out of the way
and it fixed the problem.

Oops... I spoke too soon.  I still have the problem, but it doesn't
always happen on the main page.  Even after removing
my .mozilla directory, I had the problem on a page lower down
in the tree.  I got fooled because it didn't happen on the highest
level page like it had before.  Are all of firefox's personal
customizations stored in ~/.mozilla or are there other files I
should try blowing away?

I tried to reproduce the problem on my home PC by installing
firefox 3 beta 3 and could not.  Both PCs that are having the
problem shard a common NFS home directory.  Their hardware
is different.  I assume that something is lurking in my home directory
but outside of the .mozilla directory that is causing the problem.
Any ideas what that could be?

Thanks,
