Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Go to http://
3. Zoom in and out (either using View -> Zoom, or Ctrl + Scroll)
Expected Result:
The table would retain its properties and still be rendered correctly, just larger or smaller in overall size.
Observed Behavior:
The borders of the table change thickness, sometimes disappearing because they get so thin.
Confirmed on:
Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit), NVidia, Firefox 3.7
Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit), Intel, Firefox 3.6
Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit)
Ubuntu 10.04 (alpha 2)

In Firefox 3 (3.0.4 on a Mac and 3.0.2 on Linux), for a table with 1px border similar to your example, I observed that when zooming out various segments of the borders both between cells and table border itself would disappear. The same table rendered correctly in Firefox 2. As I researched this problem I ran across a posting on another site that mentioned there is an option to "Zoom Text Only".
When this feature is enabled, the table is rendered correctly. Try it for your example. I believe this is what you are looking for.
I would recommend that Firefox enable this option by default and let the user choose to zoom everything by disabling the option. This would provide consistent behavior between FF2 and FF3.
