Renders fine for me here. Any extensions installed? Does starting
firefox in safe-mode help:

  # firefox -safe-mode

??

No changes there but I did however find the cause of the problem, I have changed minimum font size (Preferences>Content>Fonts>Advanced) to 12. When I have exact 12 this problem occurs but not with for example 11/13. This is reproducible on Windows as well.

Confirming the bug. My minimum font size is 12 and the page does not render well. After changing the minimum font size to 11 or 13 everything was OK. Should this bug be forwarded upstream if it already isn't reported?

Is this issue reproducible with upstream released binaries available
from ftp.mozilla.org as well?

I'm sure it was temporary because I have just tested what you suggested. It was present in 3.0~b3~cvs20080101t1000+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 but now I was unable to reproduce it! I now have 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2.

I also tried changing default size down to 15 which I think I had before and also tried minimum of 11 and 13 but both worked. Firefox seems to be fixed.
