The drop-down menu at the top of the noted site does not display correctly in Firefox 8.01. I does display correctly in IE, Chrome, and Opera. It looks to me like Firefox does not use the correct font for the display, which causes the list to wrap rather than to display in one line.

Turned out that this was a problem on the site - incorrect coding of the CSS caused Firefox to incorrectly render the page. Can't explain why IE, Chrome and Opera rendered the page correctly. Sorry, I don't have any additional information on the CSS coding.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Also make sure that the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref is set to true on the about:config page.

Thanks very much for your reply. All of the settings you suggest are indeed set the way you suggested and so the situation remains the same as described in the original post.
