I'm not sure if y'all realize it, but the newly redesigned Fedora Project web site has some issues with how it renders on Firefox (3.6.10) on Windows (XP). I've attached some screen shots, and describe the problems I see below.
Some of the problems are clearly a result of a bad interaction with Adblock Plus, but since this is a very widely used Firefox add-on, you may want to consider re-coding your pages to avoid problems with this add-on:
1) If users have Adblock Plus enabled, the [1][2][3][4] boxes don't render and the top section of the home page doesn't change (no big deal -- that's to be expected with Adblock Plus). See fedoraproject_home_page_with_adblock_01.PNG and fedoraproject_home_page_no_adblock_01.PNG to see the page with Adblock enabled and disabled.
2) If users have Adblock Plus enabled, the page renders with really messed up layout -- sections of the page render on top of each other, some links don't work (e.g., the link to Fedora 14), and the page generally looks like somebody really badly mangled the CSS. See fedoraproject_home_page_with_adblock_01.PNG and fedoraproject_home_page_with_adblock_02.PNG versus fedoraproject_home_page_no_adblock_01.PNG and fedoraproject_home_page_no_adblock_02.PNG for examples.
On the other hand, not all the problems are caused by Adblock Plus:
1) The new font renders really poorly. The rendering reminds me of what I see when a 1280x1024 image is rendered on a 1024x768 projector.
Hopefully you can get these problems cleaned up and the page back to looking beautiful again quickly, especially as Fedora 14 is right around the corner!
If I can help run any tests, send additional screenshots, or whatever, please let me know.
